School Reviews

2   10/8/2015
The ENY Middle School Of Excellence is a school where bullying is taken very lightly. I have heard about so many incidents that have taken place inside the school and outside in the play ground due to bullying and the school officials do not do enough to stop it. Every child should feel comfortable and safe in what is supposed to be a learning environment. They should not be afraid to speak to any adult there about any issues that occur while they are in school.
