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.

So much needs to change at this school. I don't feel like I can give an unbiased review right now, but as a student who isn't involved in sports, nobody even cares if you live or die. The arts are incredibly underfunded and neglected. Doc Bocc is doing an amazing job as the new principal, though.

I am extremely thrilled with my experience at Lindenhurst Senior High School. I believe that the best part of my experience is the resources that are provided to the students by the faculty. I believe that the worst part of my experience is the food. Overall, I am extremely happy with Lindenhurst Senior High School, and I am not looking for any changes.

I have experienced great opportunity at Lindenhurst High School. Plenty of college and AP credits are offered to expand our intelligence. Along side academics, we are also open to a ton of clubs and varsity or JV sport teams year round.

As a professor at SUNY Farmingdale and a Lindenhurst community member, I am ashamed of LHS. Lindenhurst has some of the highest school taxes in Suffolk County. Yet, many Lindenhurst natives in my classes, even high-achievers, have a very tough time adjusting to college. Even the students I get from...

Lindenhurst High School has some wonderful teachers however the staff at the administrative level is severely lacking. They do not take student issues like bullying seriously and the lack of attention to a serious drug problem will only cause the district to decline further.
