#1 Safest School Districts in Suffolk County
Senior: The district is a very well funded one. It uses its assets to properly educate its students. It is a very small district so they have a more fine-tuned focus on each individual child. Lately, their handling of the pandemic has been slightly subpar but they are trying their best.

Cold Spring Harbor Central School District
School District
Cold Spring Harbor, NY
Rating 4.43 out of 5 14 reviews
#2 Safest School Districts in Suffolk County
Sophomore: Cold Spring Harbor is a very good school district. The staff is excellent. The majority of the teachers at all levels of education are informative and empathetic. The variety of clubs and activities is decent for a fairly small district. The atmosphere is welcoming and most students are quite courteous. Even though there is a lack of diversity, relatively little prejudice and bigotry exists. The district prepares students well for college and further education, although students' workloads often become overwhelming and stressful. The emphasis on athletics sometimes overshadows other, much smaller programs, such as art and music. Overall, my experience in the district has been enjoyable.

Westhampton Beach Union Free School District
School District
Westhampton Beach, NY
Rating 4.47 out of 5 15 reviews
#7 Safest School Districts in Suffolk County
Senior: Westhampton Beach is a very safe and friendly children/ family environment/ school and town in general. The sports teams are very good and competitive, but also it gets the entire community to be involved to come out and support the teams. There are a lot of general community activities and involvement within the school community, the teachers are great and very helpful with almost anything you might need guidance with. The school is not very diverse, mainly Caucasian with other exceptional races. Westhampton is technologically advanced with tools, and resources students have available to them, including laptops. The theater and music programs are also amazing with great teachers to help future careers in music/ theater. Overall, it is a great school.

#8 Safest School Districts in Suffolk County
Alum: I grew up on the North Fork until I moved to Huntington going into sixth grade. There, I was just a number, engulfed by the thousands of other kids with needs just like mine. Moving back to Mattituck High School senior year, I recognized the effort and time they put into your individual education. It is more of a family than a school district.

Sag Harbor, NY
Rating 4.5 out of 5 2 reviews
#11 Safest School Districts in Suffolk County
Parent: I have three children who have gone through the Sag Harbor school district. Each is very different, and they all had an excellent experience. A challenging academic environment, including the IB Diploma Program, prepared them well to get into top universities. The faculty truly cares about each student, and there is a wealth of clubs, art options and sports. It is like a private school with its small class sizes and attention to every student.

#13 Safest School Districts in Suffolk County
Alum: I had a decent experience at Mount Sinai. The district lacks diversity, and pours a lot of regard into sports. Only recently has there been attention on the Theatre and Arts programs. Not a huge variety of classes to take in terms of anything separate of gen eds. Lots of AP courses, though. But I will say in terms of education, we have some of the greatest educators in the state. They do a great job of preparing students for standardized tests and college!

Smithtown Central School District

Smithtown, NY
Rating 4 out of 5 47 reviews
#14 Safest School Districts in Suffolk County
Senior: Over my past four years in the Smithtown Central School District I have experienced many things that have made it a wonderful experience. Throughout the past couple years I have made life-long friends and relationships through school and other school-related activities. Smithtown really provides one with a range of different activities for one to be involved in. Everyone will be able to find at least one thing that they will enjoy doing and make their experience memorable. Another fact about the school district is that it really prepares one for the real world and challenges one may face. The teachers are always there to help you by offering extra help and advice. Now, nothing is perfect so that is why this school district gets a four star rating, but the greatness of this school district definitely outweighs the minor setbacks of it.

Southampton Union Free School District

Rating 3.71 out of 5 17 reviews
#15 Safest School Districts in Suffolk County
Senior: I was very fortunate to attend Southampton High School in New York, during my 4 years of high school career I was capable of accomplishing tremendous amount of leadership skills and dynamic success. Southampton High School did not just provide great learning strategies but was capable of maintaining our school workers and students safe enough during these tough times of COVID. I strongly believe that this is an important topic, due to the pandemic all students had to learn remotely and many seemed to be struggling, my school therefore provided extra help hours and a more vulnerable plan for the learning of its students.

#16 Safest School Districts in Suffolk County
Senior: Throughout my experience as Sayville High School, I have made ever lasting friendships and memories. As my time at this school comes to a close, I find myself really appreciating everything it has to offer. From clubs to electives, Sayville High School has made me grow and mature into the young woman I am today. The football games bring together not just the whole school but the entire town! Sports, clubs, and academics are all mutually respected and everybody seems to get along. Teachers have left an eternal foot print on my heart. The support and motivation provided is incredible, and nobody ever feels alone here. At Sayville High School, there is no "popular" crowd and there is no "jocks", everybody's equal. Walking past people I rarely talk to and sharing a friendly smile with them is something that means the most to me. My school is one of the kindest and most safe schools anybody could attend. I could not ask for a better place to have had my education for these past few years!

#17 Safest School Districts in Suffolk County
Alum: The teachers go out of there way to help you if you need it. Teachers and parents get together for school spirit. The size of the classes are not that big, so the teacher can work with you. My Experience going to high school was one of the great experience, I will remember. I played softball and basketball, help plan and held Girlscout activities there. My own mother went to Northport Senior High back in the 80’s.

#18 Safest School Districts in Suffolk County
Senior: I was a transfer student and had a very easy time transitioning into the school. The kids that go here were very welcoming and it was easy to make friends. Unfortunately, I quickly realized that parents make most of the decisions for the school and the administration was quick to fold under influential parent pressure. This allowed some entitled students to avoid punishment for violations like vaping, inappropriate dressing, lateness, drug use, disrespect-fullness etc. For hard working well rounded students to be overlooked for recognition for a lesser student with an overly involved parent is disheartening. The arts-music programs, after school activities, and lunch program need improvement. Overall the students are amazing but the sense of entitlement here is extreme.

Three Village Central School District
School District
Stony Brook, NY
Rating 4.25 out of 5 24 reviews
#19 Safest School Districts in Suffolk County
Middle School Student: Three village Central school district is the best place to find what you love. There so many clubs for EVERYTHING, want to build machines? Join our amazing Science Olympiad team! Want to sing, act, and dance? Join our very talented drama club! Three village district is also very non tolerant with bullying so everyone feels super safe to be who they are in our schools. There isn't much I would want to change but there is one thing I think would make Three Village even better, a club where we learn how to start business for young entrepreneurs (although im a die hard fan of the Science Olympiad club.) Other adding another club, there isn't anything I would change. Three Village really is the best School district!

Rating 4.17 out of 5 46 reviews
#22 Safest School Districts in Suffolk County
Senior: Commack School District is a great place to learn. As a senior myself, I have traveled all throughout the district during my education journey. Our primary schools helped students learn the above and beyond subject basics. This continued into the intermediate schools where respect and responsibility became paramount. As we entered the middle school, our grade doubled in size meaning we had to learn how to cooperate with new people. Finally, high school has prepared me for college education and life in general. The teachers are also great in offering help and assistance. They will try their best to help you succeed in the best possible way.

Rating 4.29 out of 5 31 reviews
#23 Safest School Districts in Suffolk County
Senior: Kings Park is a close knit community that operates like an extended family. Small enough to know your neighbors well but big enough to fulfill all your needs. It's a very special high school. The students are great, the teachers care for each of their students and the administration is wonderful. I'm not just a student, but a student with a supportive extended family. When I stumbled, the teachers did all they could to get me back on track. When I needed extra help, every one of my teachers was available. As I began my college search, the Guidance Office gave me the education to pick wisely. I couldn't have done this without my KP High School family. If I was able to change anything it would be some type of requirement for students like myself considering an alternative high school be questioned by the Administration to challenge or explore why a particular student wants to go elsewhere. I will be forever thankful for my time at KP High School.

#25 Safest School Districts in Suffolk County
Senior: All the teachers I've had were incredible. We're a very diversified school in Suffolk County, and we're also what's known as a Blue Ribbon School -- one of the best in the country! There's a good reason for that. The academics are amazing, I've never had a bad teacher in my entire 12 years of school. Our high school teams truly excel, and there is a lot of school spirit. Drugs and alcohol are not a huge problem as they are with many other schools in the country. Even the counselors and administration are very caring and concerned about the students. All in all, I've been very lucky to be in this school district!

The Town School

PK, K-8
Rating 4.84 out of 5 19 reviews
Alum: I went to Town from Kindergarten through Eighth grade. I so loved my experience that I've stayed involved with the school twenty-plus years later, and I have maintained life-long friendships. I work in the writing world now due in no small part to Ms. Siegel's fifth grade English class. I still remember Bridge to Terabithia! Ms. Siegel opened my eyes to reading. It was first time I stopped looking at the page numbers.

Having no high schoolers really allows for Town students to grow into leaders and to take on active roles in the community. In the upper school, fifth through eighth grades, I served multiple terms in student senate (sadly I lost in my eighth-grade presidential bid). Playing ten-plus competitive soccer and basketball games starting in fifth grade not only helped improve my skills on the field, it gave me a head start on learning to be a teammate and a leader. These experiences served me well later when I would be captain of multiple varsity teams at Dalton.

Parent: Great school for students seeking creative way of learning. Based on progressive educational philosophy of John Dewey various activities such as farm works, arts and craft making, theater production, music performing are provided. A lot of physical activities. Your child may indulge into the nature of Adirondack hiking, skiing, swimming . Great environment to develop sense of community. My child said that he experienced the "ideal teacher role-model" in this school. Though there might be some swing among teacher capacity in practicing the school ethos according to how long they have been working at the school.
