I have a deep connection to 76 Herman Badillo Bilingual Academy that spans both sides of the classroom. As a former student here, I experienced firsthand the welcoming, supportive environment that makes this school special. The dedicated teachers who once guided my learning inspired me to return as an educator, and now I have the privilege of giving back to the community that shaped me. Every day, I see students thriving in our bilingual program, building confidence in both languages while developing strong academic skills. The sense of family and cultural pride that defines Herman Badillo Academy creates a foundation for success that lasts far beyond graduation. I wholeheartedly recommend this school to families in Buffalo looking for a place where their children will be valued, challenged, and prepared for a bright future.

Wonderful school! The staff is friendly, supportive, and genuinely cares about the students. Highly recommend!

This school has a robust Gifted & Talented program and leading arts program. Upon entering the building it’s welcoming, clean, and the walls are filled with student art work. There are also butterflies around the building which symbolizes the school’s mascot. The principal and staff are very knowledgeable and collaborative.

Our principal goes above and beyond...with the students and staff very welcoming and can go to her to her with any problems if any if I have them we had felid day today she went out of her way to help where was needed she always running to each amd everything today was great she even had her running shoes on....great turn out great day.....go rossevelt bears were a great team over here at the school.....makes being here even more fun....u want to come to wrk just a great place to b all around...!!

My daughter just started this year in the Pre K program and she absolutely loved it. Loved going to school every morning & I will be keeping her in this school.

They didn’t not take care of strongly,They have lot of lack of taking care children,My son was fallen down in the school last year & too bleeding coming out from mouth,All bleeding going down from school to my home in the school bus,I didn’t sue it,it takes two weeks to resolve this,They are talking only not friendly talking,

Really doesnt care about ANYONE! Dr.Lee is the worst principal of all time

The teachers and administrators of this school are wonderful and truly care about the kids. They try to host events and include the community, but it is clear they do not have adequate funding to do so in a larger capacity. I have three children that attend this school and we are currently applying to different schools solely due to the non stop fights and lack of consequences that occur daily. There are fights at all grade levels daily, disrespectful students who interrupt classes and learning for the other students, and a severe lack of consequence or discipline to stop these behaviors.At drop off/pick up I have witnessed students yelling at teachers, walking away while being spoken to, a clear disregard. The teachers do the best they can, but there must be a lack of support that nothing has been implemented to address these concerns. Its unfortunate. Otherwise, we love the diversity and community at this school.
