    #1 Districts with the Best Teachers in Nassau County

    Sophomore: The courtyards are spacious, the curriculum is well taught and the school’s atmosphere is good. The bathrooms could use a little work but that’s minor. I’ve moved 5 times throughout my life and this is the school that I’ve enjoyed the most. May not say much but I like Syosset and it’s exceedingly large amount of clubs...Read 41 Reviews

    #2 Districts with the Best Teachers in Nassau County

    Senior: As a current student at Roslyn High School, I have experienced first hand that teachers are always ready to help and see their students succeed, and form bonds with students to grasp an understanding of each students learning style. The vast variety of clubs and other extra curricular activities ensure that every student has multiple ways to express their interests, and make life long friends. There are many places in the school where one can feel comfortable and make themselves at home with doing homework and enjoying a meal of choice. The sports and art facilities are places where people can exercise and express themselves creatively with encouraging teachers and coaches to push students to their full potential. Being a student at Roslyn ensures that you can explore every opportunity to succeed in your career(s) outside of school...Read 14 Reviews

    #3 Districts with the Best Teachers in Nassau County

    Senior: I have had a great experience with the Great Neck Public Schools over the 13 years I have been attending schools in the district. For kindergarten, I went to Parkville, for elementary school I went to E.M. Baker, for middle school I went to Great Neck North Middle School, and for high school I have been in Great Neck North High School. Let me just say that everything is amazing in these schools. I loved all of my teachers over the years, as they have really prepared me for my next step in life. I love the clubs and activities offered at the schools, as there are so many of them that the schools offer. Lastly, I love the schools’ environments, as they all have such a positive and supporting environment and help each student get through every day. As a result of these aspects of the district, I would highly recommend any Great Neck Public School for any family that is look for a new place to send their kids to school!...Read 40 Reviews

    #4 Districts with the Best Teachers in Nassau County

    Parent: I grew up in Hewlett and I am raising my daughter here. The academics are amazing. The community is welcoming and they do so many amazing events for families. Starting from FECC (early childhood center), which was warm and helped create an amazing foundation. Then onto the elementary schools, which teaches accountability along with social, emotional and academics. This district has it all! One last bit of information, your child can get credits for college once in the high school. This is an overlooked bonus but definitely great for kids and parents. This district has it all ! Family, excellent schools, close to private beach clubs and 35 minutes from Manhattan and Brooklyn. I highly recommend raising a family here...Read 10 Reviews

    #6 Districts with the Best Teachers in Nassau County

    Senior: As a senior of Bethpage High School and someone who has gone to Bethpage schools for my entire life, I can confidently say that Bethpage UFSD has provided me with an amazing and worthwhile education. The teachers I have had have been engaging, passionate, and determined to help students reach their highest potential. Teachers are easygoing and many are empathetic when students need extra help or extended deadlines. Bethpage's administration shows support for its students by offering them a strong guidance department and meditation center for students who need a place to relax. Our clubs are average mainly because the selection of clubs to choose from is minimal, and I have never seen a student create a club of their own. However, the schools makes up for it with engaging events and opportunities, and I have seen an increase in quality of all the educational departments since I became a senior. Sadly, our school district struggles with diversity and many students are white...Read 28 Reviews

    • School District
    • MANHASSET, NY
    • 16 reviews
    #7 Districts with the Best Teachers in Nassau County

    Senior: Manhasset is undoubtedly a top school district. The academic, athletics, and arts opportunities are extensive and impressive. Teachers are very knowledgeable about their subject matter and often do their best to support students however they can. Almost every student is above average and has extraordinary accomplishments. ...However, parents expect for their kids to be the best and there is a toxic competitive culture. In high school, many students are stressed out and resort to cheating. They often still succeed, but they feel the need to sacrifice their integrity to accomplish the goals they feel pressured to complete by the community. Nevertheless, I still graduated from this school feeling prepared to attend my dream college and well educated on the past, present, and future. Instead of suffering the shortcomings of a weak district, the problems manhasset students face are the consequences of being so high performing...Read 16 Reviews

    • JERICHO, NY
    • 31 reviews
    #8 Districts with the Best Teachers in Nassau County

    Junior: The Jericho School District is a high-achieving and competitive school district. Students always aim to do their best and have shown excellence through their work. The teachers and administration are caring, kind, and strict when needed. They create a safe environment for students to be in and are there for students when needed. Jericho also provides a variety of extracurriculars to help students explore their interests. From sports to clubs, several activities are made available to students. ...However, one of the main problems at Jericho is the lack of diversity in the schools. There is an Asian majority with a few other ethnicities in the student body.Read 31 Reviews

    #9 Districts with the Best Teachers in Nassau County

    Alum: When I was going to St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, I had to transfer in the MIDDLE of 4th grade because of a teacher I had over at that school. Needless to say, Shore Road Elementary opened their arms wide with joy to bring me into their school district and got me on track to a better schooling system. Throughout my school years of then going to Grave Avenue Middle School, then Kennedy High, the education was great. Teachers for the most part are great too, always there to listen when in need. Besides the fact that online bullying wasn't a big concern back in the mid-late 2000's, the school did it's best to help me when I was in trouble with bullies at the time. With great honor, I received a Courage in Profiles award at JFK, and I am forever grateful for it. Overall, I may not have liked the students all that much, but the education is what I am forever most grateful for!...Read 84 Reviews

    Alum: Herricks is a diverse environment with a staff of people who care greatly for their students. The curriculum of this school is competitive and fair, giving students an advantage for once they enter college and beyond. Attending this school has significantly prepared me the education and difficulties that I have faced in my undergraduate education. Additionally, it is thanks to the aid I received from the faculty at Herricks that has allowed me many opportunities. The relationships formed during my time at this school have significantly influenced my recent achievements. Without this school, I may not be in the position I am in today and for that I am grateful...Read 48 Reviews

    #11 Districts with the Best Teachers in Nassau County

    Senior: The environment mixed with the brilliant teachers and helpful staff create a school experience that is worth remembering. There are a wide variety of high level courses that allow for students to choose the level of academics they wish to study. The music program at NSHS is excellent and, I would say, one of the best a high school can offer. Athletics are one of north shores strong points, and we take pride in the athletics that are offered. There is so much school pride that you can feel throughout the school and this creates a bond with the teachers and students that you cannot find at any other high school...Read 14 Reviews

    #12 Districts with the Best Teachers in Nassau County

    Senior: The Port Washington Union Free School District has provided me with an all-accepting educational community for the past 12 years, and I have been fortunate enough to have such a strong support system working alongside me in my studies. Although more recently the athletic rankings may have been on a decline, the spirit/ camaraderie seen between the huge crowd of students/ staff who come out to supPORT has definitely not. Students are encouraged to take an active role in the school community, making new clubs and social media accounts for clubs/ teams, and entertainment events afterschool at Paul D. Schreiber High School. These include a musical and play, orchestrated by the exceptional theatre/ arts program, and an event entirely unique to Schreiber... Schreiber Slam. It is held to raise money for childhood cancer research after a student passed away due to brain cancer, and it features Schreiber teachers competing in stagged UFC style fighting matches...Read 14 Reviews

    Sophomore: Plainview-Old Bethpage John F Kennedy High School is a fantastic highschool to send your kids too in every way! The kids here are friendly, most of the time, very very smart, and talented! The academics at POB are one of the very best in the state! I prefer POB over other highly rated districts like Jericho and Syosset because although POB is very academically competitive you still feel at ease attending the highschool! The staff and guidance counseler are super sweet! The food is good for high school food especially the wraps! Additionally, it is very obvious that safety is important to the district! I have never ever felt in danger when I am in school and that is one of my favorite things! POB is amazing!...Read 45 Reviews

    Alum: I graduated from the Garden City public school systems a few years ago, and I truly feel my experiences prepared me for a successful and well-rounded life. Each school, from 1st grade through high school, offered more than alternative options my parents had considered. I appreciated the encouragement of music, art, VOLUNTEERING, and sports elementary school enforced, the continuation of that and addition of language options in early middle school, and the vast amount of alternative subject matters that the high school offered (which the private schools could not compete with) paired with the excellent sports and music programs, and community service requirements. I could not be more thankful for my education...Read 17 Reviews

However, I have made many friends and have had an overall an amazing middle and high school experience. Growing up I was academically behind/slow and was suppose to be held back a grade but, throughout the years, with the help of my teachers I have made drastic improvements. The teachers at LV were always so supportive and helpful. I truly believe that I wouldn’t have improved without their help!...Read 23 Reviews

    Senior: The school Atmosphere is good. In my opinion the school Administration is lacking. They turn a blind eye to issues such as bullying and drug use. There isn’t a big bullying issue but the drug issue is very apparent. Instead of addressing the drug issue directly they install locks on bathroom doors instead getting the student who are using these drugs the proper help and resources. The teachers go out of their way to make sure you understand. The teachers understand each student is different, whether that be in their learning style; visual, tactile, or auditory, or in the pace they process and retain information. The students are nice but the automosphere is kinda cliquey in my opinion...Read 28 Reviews

Every department had such wonderful teachers that were kind, funny and really care about the students! I have to give credit to the math department because i have never had a bad math teacher from this school. I Used to struggle A LOT in math subjects, but ever since i started attending sewanhaka I was blown away at how easy it became for me. The school has also made some renovations to the cafeteria and gym which are really nice looking! although the older parts of the building do stand out sometimes. The biggest issue with this school was the lunch. It was just absolutely atrocious, but that shouldn’t be a deal breaker because i would bring lunch from home when i wanted to. Overall I cant put into word how much i love this school. I would definitely recommend sending your children to this school!...Read 49 Reviews

    #24 Districts with the Best Teachers in Nassau County

    Senior: The staff and faculty are extremely friendly! Starting to have a lot more racial diversity in the recent years. Similarly, there is a lot more effort being made for students to have easy access to seek for help. ... Wish there were more diversity in the types of classes you can take. The school is International Baccalaureate (IB) as opposed to Advanced Placement (AP). No class rank, no grade rank, just has GPA and grading on a 0-100 scale. There is an annual "event" called Red and Blue where students compete in variety of things such as sports and dances (participation is optional). Besides that, there are multitudes of opportunities for students to interact with one another. It's great, really, if you're not a social recluse like me (haha)... Personally wish there was a pool, but oh well.Read 16 Reviews

    Parent: We are very happy with Wetherby- Pembridge! The school has perfected the balance between strong academics and pastoral care. Each child is truly treated as an individual. The curriculum is thorough and extensive. ...The school is a very welcoming community, both the staff and the parent body. It has a lovely family feel. The menu is healthy and varied (and delicious!). We like that the children sit down to lunch each day with their class and their teachers, learning table manners and the art of conversation. There are a wide variety of opportunities available from trips, to sports and music. The proximity to Central Park is also a big draw as the children have easy access to outside space and nature.Read 8 Reviews
