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!

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.

Commack Union Free School District

Senior: During my academic career at Commack High School, I felt very involved in student activities. There are a variety of clubs and sports to join as well as honor societies. Through these activities, I've created a variety of new friendships as well as connections with teachers, coaches, and other staff. The academic workload can be very rigorous depending on the path one may take. Commack High School offers the IB diploma as well as IB courses without the diploma. I personally have taken the IB diploma and can say that the course load can be challenging at times. However, the IB diploma allowed me to take challenging classes in order to prepare me for a college setting. For those not taking the IB diploma, there are other options such as AP classes as well as regents level courses.

Senior: I loved the small setting of our school. The class size was instrumental in helping to develop the strong relationships I made with not only peers but my teachers as well. Every administrator and teacher takes an involved role in your school and community life. I would often see them at school events and community activities as well.

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

• School District
• Syosset, NY

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.

Harborfields Central School District

• School District
• Greenlawn, NY
• 17

Senior: Harborfields offers a lot of great experiences. The teachers are for the most part very engaging and do a good job. We offer a lot of AP classes and it is pretty normal for students to graduate with around 8 or 9 AP credits. I am heavily involved in the school's music program, which is very good. There are many great opportunities if you are involved in the music groups outside of school. For example, our jazz band took a trip to New Orleans last year. I would like to see greater funding going into STEM here at Harborfields however. I am part of the robotics team which was started a few years ago, but doesn't get adequate funding from the district. We also lack STEM and engineering classes here which I think a lot of students benefit from. That being said, Harborfields really is a second family for me. I feel so comfortable here and I'm so happy I've had the experiences I've had.

Senior: Pleasantville school district is wonderful. All schools provide a great learning environment from elementary to high school. The teachers are a mixture of some you love and some, not so much. 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.

With supportive staff and faculty, students are able to thrive in their education. Academics are Brighton are rigorous and help students become well rounded individuals.

As a school in the suburb within Rochester, Brighton Schools are very diverse. Brighton as a whole community is a welcoming community to all from various backgrounds. Just as Brighton schools are safe and comfortable, so is the Brighton community as a whole.

Senior: I have had an amazing time at Oceanside Union Free School District. Elementary school was perfect and of course I wish I could go back. I loved all of my teachers and I had fun while learning. Middle school was rough but the school was very supportive and I liked most of my teachers. The structure of middle school was weird but worked because it helped transition us from elementary school to the freedom of high school. Oceanside High School is a great school that offers its students many opportunities, academically and with extracurricular activities. Most of my teachers were very supportive and I truly believe they wanted me to succeed. The school also makes it easy to get extra help, which is important when you are taking advanced classes.

Senior: Lansing Central Schools district adequately prepares students for continuing their education at a college level. 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.

There are various resources for your access if you are struggling in a class. I like how small the town is, you get to know everyone really well. This close knit town has helped me grow as a student and as a person.
