North high school is an amazing school with high academic standards. It's extremely competitive and the teachers are amazing. Though the pressure was tough to deal with, it's worth it.

My son is a special education student who will be starting his final year at North in LifeSkills in September as he will be 21 and transitioning out.
As I work on what comes next for him, I can’t help but reflect on the last 5 years and be extremely grateful to all of the staff who has worked with my son along the way, especially at North. My son has flourished and has accomplished more than I expected. He, and I as a parent, am thankful for the opportunity he was given at North.

My son was a special Ed student at williamsville North high.They would not teach anything outside of the"program" nothing was individualised.Every year was the same curriculum.The way they get away with it is that they have to show yearly progress.The school severely stunted my child's outcome and limited his opportunity. Now,two years later he has a job he got on his own,he drives a car but he must go to Maryvale school to learn what Williamsville would not teach him.He is going to Maryvale for his TASC. I should have sued Williamsville while he was a student.

I currently go to North and I love it! When my sister was in the school 2 years ago North went through a rough patch with a couple of bomb threats. Lucky nothing bad ever happened and the students that always made the threats don't go to North anymore. That's was two years ago and since then everything's been great! I always feel secure! It is rare to have fights at our school and if one ever does occur they are dealt with immediately. No one gets hurt because teachers catch them before the fight starts up. Also you don't have to sign in to go to the bathroom you just have to tell your teachers like any other school. The curriculum is great and there are so many different classes for whatever standard you are in academically. Also you won't find any school with as much spirit as North for anything! There is spirit for sports, music, drama , homecoming, and many other events. Also the great thing is for every department, whether it sport, music, art, or business, we've gone into many state levels. State levels are really fun especially because you can go to different parts of the United States. Out of the 32 sports in our school all of them have been called Scholar A there teams.

I am a currently a student at North and honestly, it's an outstanding school. Not only does North have high academic standards, it's sports, music, and arts programs are exceptional. The teachers are fantastic. They actually are interested in the students' overall well-being, not just their scores. The majority of the students that attend North are on track to succeed in life.

I'm a student at will north, and I can say its not a bad school. Of course there are always things that can be improved but that doesn't mean you have to ignore the good! There are many ways for students to adjust to their teaching requirements; advanced courses, slower courses, so many electives, APs. The school spirit is amazing, especially homecoming and the pep rally we have! You wont find a school with more spirit anywhere. Our sports are amazing too, so many teams have made it to states before. If sports or academics aren't really your thing, then there are many clubs that you can take part in! The music department is amazing as well, we have so many ensembles because there are so many students interested. Theres so much good. Maybe a few departments could be looked at to increased the aptitude of teachers, but other than that I can't really think of much else that is bad. Of course every student will have their complaints about the school they go to, but nothing that should deter you completely from wanting to go here. Go Spartans!!

I'm a student at that school, and I've got many bad things to say about it. The lunch menu choices are unhealthy and just awful. The librarians do little to control noisy students and they get on my nerves, because it's hard to read with noisy students in the library. Now, students have to sign in to go to the bathroom, and the teachers and principle aren't doing much about the two "bomb threats" that occurred within the past 7-8 months. There are just so many bad thing about that school, but there are SOME good teachers.

My son loved his High School experience. He returns back again and again and has made some really good connections. What can be better evidence than that. He graduated and got admission to his first choice college.
