It has been a fair to good experience. We like that it is in the neighborhood and she doesn't need to depend on being bussed.

Differs from teacher to teacher. Some are extremely inconsistent.

Varies depending on staff. We've had good and horrible experiences.

Mr. Vanderlip talks a good game, yet I'm uncertain how effective give he truly is.

Our child has reported being bullied &there were no consequences. She has been punished by staff for things other students admitted to doing yet blamed her for.

This school was once considered a dream school. I had three of my children graduate from there. The New Principal is a good people person yet the Assistant is evil like a Villian. The Teachers are understandable and as long as there's parent involvement all goes well. If they remover that Villian I will consider this the greatest school here in Buffalo. No one is prejudgemental except the asst. Principal so it will be hard unless you know how to demand respect. The Key is to let them know you care and they will show you how well they sparkle....I'd have that asst. principal removed if one parents word was all it took. But as long as you stay involved you will be satisfied. The teachers and counselors are amazing, they do their jobs as we would want them to...Minus that Asst.Villian.
