As the PROUD parent of an Eagle Scholar I was shocked to learn that the school only received 3 as a great schools rating. My son is entering his 3rd year at Eagle as a 8th grader, and I must say that my son has excelled at Eagle Academy for Young Men. Eagle has helped my son to grow 5 levels in reading in one school year, is preparing him to take and pass the High School Regents while still attending middle school, and grooming him to be a globally competetive young man. Mr. Meade the principal of the school is always accessible should a parent or scholar has any questions or concerns. He personally greets every yound man in the morning prior to them entering the school building to begin their day, reminding them to maintain eye contact and have a firm handshake. Qualities the confident men possess.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 New York used the New York State Assessments to test students in grades 3 through 8 in English language arts and math, and in grades 4 and 8 in science. The results for English language arts and math are displayed on GreatSchools profiles and the science results will be added when they are released in the Fall of 2013. The tests are standards-based, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of New York. The goal is for 90% of students to meet or exceed grade-level standards on the tests.
