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.

My experience at Massapequa High school has been memorable and something that I will never forgot. I have made many connections through clubs, sports and faculty. Some being Best buddies club, Varsity golf team and Marching Band.

The teachers don't teach, they expect every student to be as intelligent as the most gifted student in the class room. Or expect every student to already know the topic gone over in class as if class time was review rather than learning a new topic. The teachers either go too slow or too fast making it very confusing to students.
