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.

It's a very competitive high school and there's a lot of academic opportunities here. Overall, I had a pretty good experience academically.

Overall, Syosset High school was pretty good. It is very educational and prepares a student for college, and academics are the main focus. If you care about having a social life, you have to seek it out because there was little school spirit. Sports were popular enough, but the school mostly focused on their students academic abilities.

One of the best parts of Syosset High School is the amount of resources and the involvement in sports. On the other hand, teachers can be hit or miss, only some doing their job efficiently

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...
