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.

my school has a very good basketball program and that really keeps the school together, but many things separate that. such as fights, people swearing at kids/teachers, and sometimes even teachers getting hit. they need to do a better job at making the school a safe space. but also you have to hang around the right kids

Niagara Falls High School is what I can say the definition of "one of a kind." Niagara Falls High School is one of the schools you would say "I don't want to be here", but you don't see yourself attending any other school accepting the one you attend. It was at Niagara Falls High school where I met my closest friends and was given class course and program opportunities. Niagara Falls High School truly is "one of a kind."

I don't really like Niagara Falls high school .The teachers aren't really supportive when it come to educating their students. There's a lot of fights , everyday theres a new fight in the cafeteria, on the bus, in the hallways . The guidance counselor doesn't listen to the students problems like they are supposed too so kids tend to get In more fights because of it .

I have two kids at NFHS. They have both received top AP and Regents scores, which shows me this school is as good as any other school out there. As with every other school, if the student is willing to work, the resources are there for the student to excel. I also appreciate the diversity at the sch...

Parent of student who attends nfhs now hates it bulling is tolerated teachers talk to students anyway they want because they know they will not get fired. I've never had such a horrible experience with a school before until my child went there.
