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.

The diversity of the school is fairly low and many students bully anyone who sticks out. Teachers and academics are wonderful for upper level classes. Many sports perform very well, and the clubs/sports are very interconnected as it is a small school. Very cliquey

The teachers at Port Byron are some of the greatest i've ever worked with. They are helpful and passionate about their jobs. The Drama Club has been the highlight of the school, we put on amazing shows and are like a family. I do wish the school would put more funding into the arts, like they do with all sports.

The teachers truly care about your education and have a lot of support opportunities. They get a lot of state funding so their facilities are always up to date and safe.

The sports programs are ill funded and there is little pride or enthusiasm from a majority of the athletes a...
