Choose Your School

  Summary | School Location Map | List of Schools
 

Buffalo’s public schools have undergone considerable change. With the addition of charter schools, which are independent public schools, parents now have more choices. This section of the website was created to help parents choose a school that will meet the needs of their children.

1 Compare School Characteristics
This section provides basic information on all public schools in the City of Buffalo. Information includes school location and contact information, results of test scores for the New York State English Language Arts and Math assessment, services available within the school, and school demographics.

Any student wishing to attend schools in the Buffalo Public School System can choose, and receive transportation to any non-magnet school, without entrance requirement on a first come-first serve basis. If you need more information about individual charter schools, either call the school or click here, which includes web sites for those charter schools that have them.

Buffalo Public Schools. If you have chosen a school within the Buffalo Public School System, visit the Buffalo Public Schools web site, www.buffaloschools.org for an application and the application deadline.

The process for getting your child into a school should start the year before your child is ready to enter school.
