Open Quote The previous review is for Rye Neck Middle School in Mamaroneck, not Rye Middle School, the reviewer said so in their review Close Quote


by a parent
Wednesday, February 15, 2012

Open Quote I have two sons, and one of them was attending Rye Neck Middle School. Well, I pulled them out.
This is because he was bullied last year. He was bullied horribly, and the ignorant teachers wouldn't care enough to tell us. The counselors were no help at all, according to my son, who tried to let them know but got no help. All teachers, including the principle, had tried to cover up.

To notice others, I had to write this review. The handling of my son's bullying case was totally unacceptable, and was extremely disappointing. It should have been on the news headlines, "School Sweeps Severe Bullying Case Under the Rug."

I strongly suggest you look over this school, even if you are just minutes away from it. There are many other great schools that your child[ren] can attend, I am just telling you the truth about the inside of this disgusting school. Maybe they disrespect Asians? Maybe because my son performs slightly below average? I do not know, but please skip this school as a choice. Close Quote
