Buffalo Academy of science is a horrible school. The teachers are disrespectful to the students and some parents. They care more about irrelevant things that important things such as education, health, mental health. They barley give students time to eat and they make students miserable. They lie to parents because they know that parents will believe what they say and they manipulate students.

I wasn't planning on staying at BuffSci but after being there for a year I decided to stay. Thanks to the help of the teachers and staff I ended up graduating with an Advanced Regents Diploma a full year early. The school can only improve with more funding and I thoroughly enjoyed my high school experience because of the overall atmosphere of the school.
