Parent: Best school district in USA! Our first priority always has been and always will be education. We were in New Jersey best school districts (Princeton, Milburn) for few years. But we simply love Jericho public schools. Far better than NJ public schools based on our experience.
Great opportunities for extra curriculum activities, sports, music. Great teachers!

Hoosac School

Parent: We transferred jr year from to Hoosac(specifically for their academic program and school spirit) and they made the transition incredibly smooth & pleasant! My daughter came out of her shell at Hoosac and was filled with school pride for her school.More importantly, I have told many parent since the switch I wish I’d done it earlier because their academic program is unparalleled! They start in Jr High with college prep, SAT’s and preparing our kids to become adults. What a student completes in on year at other high schools, they complete in one semester. That notion scared us at first but, again, the teachers there made it easy for her/us! The teachers, counselors and staff are always caring, accessible and the communication is top notch!
I am incredibly grateful we made the switch!

4 Districts with the Best Teachers in New York
Niche User: The education at Briarcliff is very good. But the diversity and acceptance isn't that great. Its mostly a white people school and only materialistic people who sport branded clothing can fit in well. So if you're that type then its an excellent school.

The teachers are really nice and class discussions are very engaging and challenge creativity.

The education itself is fantastic but like every school not all aspects is good. Guidance Counselors don't respond to emails and have locked doors when you try to visit them.

The school does have an amazing research and STAR (Computer Hardware) program that can look good on applications as well as many amazing clubs.

But the courses can be very challenging and if your just an average student you won't be able to take the best classes that look the most good for college (if you are planning to go)

Niche User: Going to any Great neck public school is excellent and has great education. Having gone to Great Neck South High School the academic is amazing at this school. All teachers and overall the school have such a passionate and dedication to teaching something new every day and giving the help students need. This school has such a wide variety of activities, sports, clubs, and extra curriculum for students after hours or during. Many teachers stayed after hours if students needed extra help or even during school hours help was always available. I will always recommend kids to go to this school!

Alum: Roslyn Union Free School District has excellent academics and staff. There are many clubs and activities to become a part of, so everyone has a chance to find where they fit in. They should improve on college readiness. The way they go about the college search and application process is confusing. They also tend to persuade students to go to certain schools because its where a majority of alumni have attended and the school district has a good reputation with the university.

8 Districts with the Best Teachers in New York
Senior: Overall, Commack Union Free School District is a great school when it comes to helping with college applications and preparing students for the life of college. The IB Program is heavily enforced to help students prepare for college. One of the primary issues I have with the Commack UFSD is its lack of investment in the technology department. As a member of National Technical Honor Society and a student who endeavors to become a mechanical engineer, technology is a large part of my life, academically and socially. After reflecting on my high school career, I feel that a more fully developed technology department would have helped me figure out my goals and engage myself more in my schools technical department.

Edgemont Union Free School District
School District
Scarsdale, NY

10 Districts with the Best Teachers in New York
Alum: Edgemont was a great school, both academically and socially. I not only received an outstanding education that prepared me well for college and life, but my closest friends are also from Edgemont.

It is definitely an intense place as far as academics are concerned, but it's no more intense than a competitive college or a typical workplace. The intensity and the stress it causes can be tough for a kid, but it is definitely manageable and it builds character.

In my experience, classmates were supportive (we studied together) and it was not at all cutthroat.

Lastly, while Edgemont is a great school for serious students, there is also plenty of help and support for those who need it, so I do not see how almost anyone could go wrong with the Edgemont Schools!

Senior: The BMCHSD offers everything a student could want to succeed. I have called it my home for the past 4 years and the staff and administration have shaped my being and mindset towards education. I have expressed and discovered myself in many realms, ranging from academically, artistically, and athletically, and much more. Between starting clubs with likeminded peers and exploring differences between those who are less likeminded to myself, all facilitated by the district, I have become a better person. The BMCHSD is a community of sharing and expression as well as intellectual curiosity and ambition towards greatness and that is something that will stay with me and all other BMCHSD students for the rest of my life.

Syosset Central School District

Syosset, NY

13 Districts with the Best Teachers in New York
Senior: Academically it is an excellent district, the high school had an incredible variety of classes, extracurriculars, etc. The only issue I've had over the years at the high school is due to the schools excellence and how high it ranks compared to the rest of the country. If you are even just an average student (above average compared to national averages), its easy to feel way below your peers. Syosset has an environment where it's "cool" to be stressed, staying up late frequently for schoolwork, overloading yourself with hard classes, sports, clubs, etc. It can be extremely overwhelming at times, and it can make you feel very out of place among your peers, even if you do better than you think.

Overall my experience has been great, probably better than any other school in the area. Great football and lacrosse teams and awesome extracurricular activities. Many clubs to participate in and students are very independent. The arts are also greatly appreciated and well-funded. Every teacher I have had has been very professional and kind. Teachers are also very supportive and try to do everything in their power to make sure their students prosper.

Herricks Union Free School District

17 Districts with the Best Teachers in New York
Alum: Herricks High School teaches their students to have a great balance between their social and academical lives. Teachers are welcoming and understanding to their students. Along with the great staff and their students who are determined to become something in life the environment is always positive and motivational. If the administrators were to make some changes, they should have students come into the high school with classes that will help them on their road to their profession. The high school should have communities for each major. For example, if the student wants to become a doctor then the school should offer him/her classes that will help him/her understand what needs to be done for that profession. The classes the student takes like math or science classes should be according to what he or she will need in medical school. Besides this change, the Herricks School District is a great diverse environment in which students grow and learn together as a family.

The district provides numerous chances to participate in fun extra- curricular activities from STEAM events to school dances. While the district is not very diverse, students are allowed to share differing opinions and points of view. The teachers at Lansing are remembered many years after the students graduate and always welcome visits from their former students.

Junior: There are some pretty fantastic opportunities within this district, especially in the music department, which is so diverse and has very passionate teachers. The academic teachers are generally good, some of them do go above and beyond and truly care about the students. Sports are okay, cross country and lacrosse tend to be the best preforming in my opinion. There are a great diversity of clubs to get involved in, which is really nice, and helps give off this very welcoming atmosphere for the students. The assemblies that are offered are diverse, and many people look forward to assemblies such as the ones for Pi Day, Black History Month, and Women's History Month.

Parent: I highly recommend Pine Street School. All of the teachers are so kind to each child, truly encouraging each to their strengths. My son is attending Kindergarten, Spanish. Although he is a bilingual child, I have noticed that his sentences are longer in Spanish than when he started. He is thriving , loves to attend and learn. I am confident that the school is setting a solid foundation for his learning path. He is truly developing a true love for learning. The school offers violin, swimming, arts, music, drama and stem program among others activities. The lunch is amazing and he is always excited about it. I am confident we made the BEST choice for our child.

Parent: Green Meadow is an incredibly special place. We sent our daughter there for ten years and our son is currently a sixth grader. Waldorf education is very different from mainstream education, so if you are considering this school, that’s the first thing you need to figure out. Waldorf education focuses on the body, mind and spirit - with the arts considered as important as other subjects. They teach math and science in really exciting, creative ways. The kids get a LOT of outdoor time, which is wonderful. Green Meadow is a particularly strong and well-established school. It has an amazingly gifted and dedicated teaching staff, and a thoughtful and responsive administration. Sure, there are some small dramas that happen, but in general, this is an excellent school with a dedicated and supportive community.
