A jungle gym, a few sets of various sized swings, even a big slide. The surrounding landscape is always kept very well maintained. There's even a shelter to sit with a few tables to sit at. A sort of hidden gem in the town that probably only those from West Seneca frequent. Overall, a nice park to go with the kids to let them blow off some steam.

Please let me get a second job to pay for naptime. We finally put my/our taxes to use. Chloe was to attend public school kindergarten. Oh the shame! Clarification - daughter has lived with us since 2011. Two children in tow. Daughter attended parochial. Allendale is our appointed district however it shares a space with West Elementary. Essentially, kinda maybe the same school however I am not that well versed in Public School vernacular. I was not initially pleased. I felt that perhaps Chloe was a bit too smart mouth upon her return home from school. I guess I forgot what annoying little creatures children can be. I pushed to switch to a Charter School. It didn't happen, my review has been posted. Negatively. Bottom line. Chloe reads like a trooper. Understands math better than I - I have the advantage of an abacus!! I went to her Kindergarten graduation yesterday and I was reduced to tears. Simple presentation, hotter than you can imagine, however nicely put together! Best part, I got to visit the actual classroom. There are three for Allendale Kindergarteners and they are all so homey and cool! Not like the icy rows of learning from the ill educated Nuns of my Catholic School days where a switch was quick to get those knuckles! Only, of course, if your teaching Sister was not asleep at the wheel - as often was the case. The room. Wee little tables, arced. Not too many children. Not a super large room. Everyone can get the attention they need, if they need it. Everything was encased inside this little learning paradise. No lockers, cubbies. A cute little transgender bathroom with little fixtures. Books, and many of them. I could not ask for anything more for a learning environment for a child. And did I say HUGE windows with a view to paradise?? Where the deer play! Transoms that open to allow fresh, circulating air?? I think this will work.

Not being able to have an available bus to pick up our child at least 6x's this year bringing them home past 5:30, when school is out at 2:20 is wild. When there is an issue or concern and brought directly to the principals attention and he either does NOT respond as their has been serious concerns about the violence and not feeling this is a safe place for our child. As an adult who went to this school personally as a child, this is heartbreaking. The standards have fallen. With being said with what we have experienced in the past 7 years at this school, my husband and I have decided to remove our son from Discovery Buffalo Public School #67. Kids deserve to go to school and learn and be protected!!! #67 needs to work on that. Respectfully, A parent who cares about the well-being of their child!

It's wonderful for an education and has rated number one for many years in the parochial high school element. They've lost their personality. It's all about maintaining status. My daughter chose this school for the wrong reasons. It's cool location. I prepaid her freshman year and was beset by calls from her guidance counselor saying that she is just not up to par. She is not good enough to stay. No offer of reimbursement for tuition paid...just remove her. Also, her purse was taken. Nardin not responsible. The agnst that this small school caused was long lasting. Her lost purse, sans cell fone and personal touch cafeteria card, was returned albeit 4 months later. Guidance counselor is long gone, I believe her sole purpose in life was to bother individuals. Her office, in the lower part of the building, was the smoking lounge when I attended. Cool school, be careful.
