It was okay, but could use an overall better experience. Better atmosphere, new opportunitites, new chances to be seen and heard. The students are treated poorly and as if we do not genuinely matter.

As a student here at Buffalo High School, I can't really complain about much. In general, this school has been really good to me and has given me some of the best years of my life. The teachers are all very nice and willing to help when you need it, and the people around you are simply people you want to be around. The staff here encourages you to seek every opportunity you have and the amount of opportunity here is not limited. All in all, I'd say Buffalo High School is my home and has treated me very well.

I was hate crimed multiple times because I'm a gay trans man and no one did anything about it. The administration told me to ignore them even when the cops had to be involved.
