GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

They have a lot of resources and my guidance counselor is very helpful. It is very diverse and I like that. It is a big school. The only thing i would change is more kids make a team too many kids and only 1 teams makes it hard to get on a school team if not one of the best.

my overall at commack highschool was nice. The teachers for the most part are very willing to help and only some were even went above and beyond to make sure i got the help that i needed. I also really like how many clubs and honor societies and there is always something for everyone. One thing that i would like to see changed is how the school deals with issues and informing the students. There was writing on the bathroom walls that was only spoken about once which was a swastika. The school spirt is great and there is always activities going on.
