Buffalo High School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on standardized tests, with only 6% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to state averages of 37% and 18%, respectively. The school's graduation rates have been mixed, ranging from 81.1% to 95.2% for the four-year graduation rate.
