Our family has had nothing but support and guidance.( my grand daughter has learning disabilities)..the teachers , Mr. Lodinsky , and Ms. Phillips all go out of their way to help us when we need or ask. All staff has and continue to treat us as family..All the kids that attend DaVinci are hard workers and it's like their all a big family..It is a well structured school because they want all the kids to succeed and become whatever they want to become..( doctors , lawyers , future presidents , you never know ) shoot for the stars is what I've always told my children and my grand children.When I've had to go to school and it's class change they all smile and are kind with hi's from all..weather they know you or not... .My grand son is about to enter next year ( 2017-2018 school year ) I have to say I'm again excited ! God Bless you all..Jackie H.

I had spent my time over here for over 1 year, and man, this has been one of the greatest decisions, I made by staying here, even though I got an offer for Olmsted. Anyways, this school has really nice and caring teachers, and teachers are the ones who actually make the biggest impact on your life. So having great teachers, is always gonna be a reasonable matter to consider. We respect each other, and this school teaches us all the morals that we will ever need, with utmost dignity and honor.

I am a graduate from Davinci high school class 2007. The education I received was excellent. The faculty and teachers are fantastic and provide a welcoming environment. After graduation I attended Niagara University, one of the most high ranking private universities in the area. davinci students are always encouraged to strive for the best. Thank you to all of the key people who pushed me to achieve a better me and a better future. Dedicated to Mrs. McKenzie. You will always be in the hearts of the students you took under your wing.

This school is second to none. I am proud to say that my daughter graduated from this school and I also have a son who is now a sophmore here. A couple years ago the City of Buffalo proposed a merger of Da Vinci with Grover Cleveland High School and the students, faculty, parents, and alumni joined forces and were able to stop the merger. Once again the Board is proposing the same thing and once again we are all joining together to stop the merger. This is a small school yes, but, one with a BIG HEART. It has a graduation rate of over 90% it has gotten National Recognition as one of the best High Schools in the Country. I am VERY PROUD to be a Da Vinci parent!!!

this school gets over 500 applicaions a year but only selects 65-85 students. Grades are not the only criteria to get in . The school gives an education in values and morals and has one of the most creative teachings around, i am proud that my child will be a graduate this year 2010. so to the great teachers i say thank you you all are awesome .
