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.

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.

I would like to see consistency in the administration, issue with always changing staff. Most of the teachers are great very helpful, always there for the students when they need you.

Some great teachers and some bad ones! Need to get better facilities and need to stop crazy parents from being involved all the time which honestly can hinder students experience overall. I am so thankful I got to attend this school but there was also so many poor aspects that can easily be fixed

The best parts of Hewlett High School constitute learning how to create and enhance benevolent relations with others. The worst parts of Hewlett High School would be the amount of work and rigorous attributes needed to flourish. Although I think the good largely overpowers the bad of Hewlett High School. Hewlett High School was a setting of Diligent learners and Ecstasy. Hewlett High School had advantageously great Teachers who helped Kids strive to reach their best. The only critique I would have to say I wish was different is the amount of work. Although I think that is a nominal attribute of a negative to compare to the positives holistically. I thought Hewlett High School was an amazing school and provided me with 4 years of flourishing academics.

The student body creates a negative atmosphere of materialism and disrespect. The learning environment is hard to focus on amongst this level of toxicity. They can have all the class opportunities in the world but the school community is not very inclusive.

I have had four children go through the Hewlett Woodmere schools from Pre-K on. As an educator, I have been impressed with the quality of education my children have received at all of the schools. There are tremendous opportunities for students to succeed regardless of their interest, talent and lev...

Personally I’ve had a terrible experience as a student. The student body is just plain disrespectful. The teachers give little effort and don’t inspire students. And the administration is subpar.
