Manhasset High School is a very competitive school as their SAT scores are around 1300s. Manhasset has a big emphasis on school sports as Manhasset's Lacrosse team is one of the best in the country. Many different AP courses are available to students. Recently, renovated the research department allowing for kids in research to get better experiments and results. Science research is one of the big points of Manhasset High School as Manhasset recently won prizes. Manhasset lacks diversity; however, this is getting better as more and more people of different races are moving into this predominately white neighborhood. Manhasset prepares its kids to go to college. Therefore, Manhasset High School is a great environment to learn and play sports, but Manhasset is lacking diversity other schools might have.

I loved my time at Manhasset High School! I now attend a highly competitive college, and I felt adequately prepared graduating from Manhasset. The teachers were extremely helpful, welcoming of questions, approachable, and wanted to work with you to make sure that you preformed well. Some of my favorite teachers to this day as a college senior are from Manhasset High School.
As a native US citizen whose parents are immigrants that came from overseas, I would love to see some more diversity in the student and teacher population. This may naturally take place over time, however, in the meantime there could be substantial progress in the departments of the celebration of diverse backgrounds as well as the general school spirit. Students' attitudes, as they are at most schools, are extremely negative towards school. The fact that this is an issue in schools across the board is no excuse for its prescence, and the administration must take appropriate actions. It may be considered naive of me, but I truly believe that school can be an enjoyable experience for all under the right circumstances. Learning new knowledge can be highly rewarding when students' mentalities are properly catered to. On a lighter note, the food is comparably better in quality and nutrition than most schools.
