GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Having the opportunity to go to one of the best high schools in Western NY, is truly a privilege. I've made friends that I know will last a lifetime, as well as connections to teachers and administrators that have helped me into developing into the independent adult I am today. I'm honored to be a future alumni of Williamsville East, and grateful for all the opportunities they've offered me.

If You have heard rumors about East being hard to concentrate due to no interior walls on the 2nd and 3rd floor those rumors are false. I did not find any problem paying...
