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.

At Elmont, the lessons I've learned from the faculty and staff have become an integral part of my life. There are some teachers/administrators that would bend over backwards to help students out of a rut while other teachers would not even bat an eye. These lessons stem from all different kind of interactions in such a diverse and complex school environment. However, I don't think this school does the best with preparing students for college. One of the lessons I learned during this last year, is that when you making a transition in life there are most likely people who have had SOME experience in that the field before or after the transition. I had to look outside of this school to find reliable information/advice for the transition from high school to college. I had to work hard on my own to ensure that I was the best candidate I could be for top schools. I would like this school to encourage advisory that adheres to the qualities top colleges look for.
