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.

Islip High School was a very welcoming school. The teachers have such big hearts and try to form connections with their students, making the high school experience a little better. Islip High School had a wide variety of clubs and extra curricular activities that anyone could participate in. The Friday night football games were my absolute favorite. Our entire student body would come together and cheer with pride for our school.

Islip High School has been very welcoming to me ever since I moved there. It's actually very surprising how welcoming this school is to new students. You can tell that this school has a good budget, since the school lunch is very high quality and all of the classrooms are very well maintained.

I enjoy attending Islip high school. I recently moved and so far I've felt welcome. Besides the respectful peers the school is not very diverse. Although they try and express and respect other cultures I feel as if there is always more they can do. Such as starting clubs that uplift African American and Hispanic culture.
