Advanced Course Offerings: 5-8

The Buffalo Public School District is committed to increasing equity in educational experiences, including equity in access to advanced courses. 

While advanced coursework provides an opportunity for your child to gain skills and demonstrate competencies at a higher level, advanced coursework provides other benefits as well. Other benefits of participation in advanced coursework may include:

  • improving a student’s self-confidence and image of self.

  • incorporating critical thinking, creative thinking, and metacognition as interdependent processes.

  • demonstrating a student’s preparedness for upper-level coursework.

The following sections outline the curricular offerings available to students of the Buffalo Public Schools during the 2024-25 school year. Not all offerings are available at all schools. Please consult the course descriptions of each individual course for specifics regarding availability, prerequisites, and assessments requirements.
