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.

My overall experience with the school is exceptional and I enjoy all the resources and opportunities offered. However, I would like to see the bathroom stalls not have so many gaps so everyone has more privacy overall. Also, I would like the food to be improved because the food doesn't taste good or enjoyable to eat. I have to resort to bringing in food from home that I have to prepare because it's a better alternative to eating school lunches.

The school overall is good but I think with minor adjustments that better care for the health of students by improving the lunches offered would greatly improve the school.

Students are extremely driven and are given the opportunity to take r...

I attend syosset high school and I'm honestly ashamed to call it my school. Sure, the academic programs offered aren't offered in many other schools, but that would be the only good thing. First, the competition for grades (i don't play sports so I don't know how that is) is absolutely terrible, as...
