this is a terrible school.. the whole district is. the staff doesn't handle bullies at all. kids are just told to ignore the bullies!! yeah that works.. they are consolidated schools so that is going to make it worse. staff won't open the front doors in the morning until it is time to start school. so kids have to stand out in the snow and rain..

My school is a very culturally diverse school. There are many different groups of teenagers. They are all unique in their own way. If you want to expose your child to many great sports this would be the school to do so. We have great sports team including our state champs the Elmira Express Varsity Football team and the STAC west champs the Elmira Express Girls Varsity Soccer team. We strive for excellence at this school and have a wide variety of clubs and different activities for the school. Our drama program is one of the tops in the tri-sate area. We have done many plays throughout the years all getting great reviews in the newspapers and on the internet. Our staff works their best to keep our school great and in line. They the students success here. We have 2 languages taught here at EFA, Spanish and French. We also have clubs after school so we can practice all of the different cultures. I love being a part of my school and even though I am already a senior I plan on attending more of the sporting events and supporting our drama club and of course coming back to visit all of my favorite teachers here at my beloved school. So send you child here for a well rounded education.

I was hesitant to enroll my children in the Elmira City School District when we moved here because of the GreatSchools rating, which was very low. But our experience has been wonderful. The staff are friendly, supportive, and communicative. The kids are happy. They have two playgrounds at the school and two courtyards, so kids regularly get out of class. They have outside organizations come to school to teach the kids art and culture (Rockwell Museum and Chemung Valley History Museum come to mind), which aren't officially part of the curriculum, but the leadership believes that it's important--and so do I. They do field trips to the pumpkin patch in the fall, to the park in the Spring. It really is a great school.

My children transferred into Hendy last year from another private elementary school. They were quite challenged by the work and enjoyed it. The teachers they have had are wonderful and caring. The ELA and Science programs are excellent. Teachers are easily accessible via email for quick questions or any concerns.

My friend Luca goes there and he makes me happy so it’s ok.
