This is an excellent school. The staff is like family. My daughter was on the honor roll for four year. She was able with tutoring to graduate early and is now in college. If your child is struggling the teacher will work late or come in on the weekend to help them. Just a wonderful school.

I attend this school, and am an 8th grader there. I have been coming here ever since 6th grade, and have had no trouble. This school has many afterschool activities like swimming in the pool, basketball, soccer, band chorus, and many more.

Thank goodness my sons elementary school guidance coucelor told me about East NY Family Acedemy. It is a godsend. Close interactive environments and small classes made this school one of my sons top priorities. Plus, after middle school, you wouldnt have to look far for a great High school. Its all right there. It is a small school thats making a big sound. I recommend that every child experiences what East NY Family Academy has to offer.

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 goal is for 90% of students to meet or exceed grade-level standards on the tests.
