I agree with the poster Dozr posted.
estorivito; carolina, like near whitney, i think is on the up. prospect (right near rabin) has incredible architecture, and i think taht area is on the come-up. not there yet, but on the come up
jayS: yes. you have to be smart to go to a good school in buffalo. if your kid is not smart, then private school, or suburban public schools, are a good idea.
as i re-read that i dont mean to be condescending by any means. i’m just saying i went to good public schools my whole life because I was always in the top percentile. had i not gone to city honors, i would have gone to tech (for tech one still has to test, but they are a LOT more lenient). even so, I may have been sent to canisius (my parents paid the deposit for me to go there if i didnt get into honors, even though in retrospect i am very glad i did not go to canisius).
i very closely equate private schools to suburban public schools, in many respects
also, i dont mean to sound dismissive of canisius by any means. but when i was in 8th grade (at 56 mind you, not at honors yet) I shadowed once a freshman and once a sophomore, and both were covering cirriculum I was already familiar with
