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.

Sachem North is becoming a more diverse place. The teachers are mostly friendly and easy to learn and work with. We have a lot of good food from the cafe and the school store and we have security everywhere to keep everyone safe. We also scan our ids in the morning.

Two children in Sachem Schools. Feel that it is very much run by the board. Not happy with many self serving board members. Our superintendent is leaving- sad to see him go.

I really enjoy my time at Sachem North. I also was on the Arrowettes team which was challenging but was so worth it. There is a lot of team spirit at the school and I have made many wonderful memories.

My husband and I were not happy with the way some of teachers and principals act at Sachem. I feel the teacher union at Sachem is so strong and so many teachers at Sachem can do and say whatever they want to students and parents. When my daughter was in 7th grade I decided I didn’t want to deal with...
