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.

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