If you've ever left Western New York, you know that nobody compares to the schooling systems around Buffalo--they're just untouchable. The gap between high schools in Western New York versus the rest of the state is insane when it comes to test scores.

Don't even mention another state, WNY districts blow them out of the water.

The local Top 10 high schools in Western New York is out and there is no surprise who tops the list again, for the fifth year in a row, but there are a lot of moves within the Top 10.
