GreatSchools Rating
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.

Syosset is one of the most competitive high schools on Long Island and I believe it has done a great job in preparing me for college.

My experience at Syosset High School is one that can best be described as multifaceted. There are plenty of supportive teachers and abundant access to resources in order to succeed, but there are teachers who can be unjust, and that is something you need to be aware of, as they will make your life as hard as possible.

I moved to Syosset during my 9th grade year. Syosset High School is a veru diversed school and full of great oppotunities. Really good school except the food is not so well. Teachers and students get along and there are rarely fights in the school. It is very educational and prepares a student for college. Good science and math programs. VERY HARD THO.

A large majority of the teachers are highly qualified (my APUSH teacher is a published author, taught in the Committee for International Relations at U.Chicago and was a visiting Professor of Political Science at Ohio University). 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...
