The social climate at this school is extremely toxic. Very racist, homophobic, and misogynistic. The administration does nothing to combat the rampant sexual harassment and bullying; they just keep touting their long tenure, not realizing it just makes them sound stuck in the past and unable to move...

Both my sons graduated from Levittown public schools and both are successful in their business, and well rounded in their lives with their own families.
