Native American Magnet is an elementary school that serves grades K–8 in the West Side of Buffalo.
History
The school was established in 1976 to push Native Americans into a public school and lower dropout rates in Native Americans in Buffalo. It was one of the first magnet schools in New York to be based off of ethnicity.
The school has hosted many Native American cultural celebrations.
During its time open, the school established playgrounds for after school hours.
