SCSD has it's ups and downs just like any other school district. The arts program at SCSD is…read moreamazing. I've never seen a better funded, better developed music and fine art program anywhere. Now, on the other hand, I have had two brothers go through the Special Education program and have watched time and time again as the program failed my brothers. The school district misdiagnosed my little brother saying that he had ADD and so prescribed him adderall when, in reality he was dyslexic. Anyway, I think they need to develop their Special Ed programs. The school district is in need of good Special Ed teachers who bring the education to the students in a non-traditional way. I loved Robbins Lane, loved HBT and loved SHS. I thank God for the experiences I had at these schools. They made me the person I am today.

SCSD is a blue ribbon district! Wonderful in more ways than one. There is a reason they send the…read moremost number of students to Ivy League Universities in the state. SCSD prepares you along every step of the way, and especially to be a success in, and out of the classroom. Their curriculum is challenging, yet allows even the average student to reach their potential. They also offer the most AP/advance placement classes that I know of. I myself took 12 AP courses throughout my high school career, and I can attest that their standards help you prepare for college. Their sports, among other activities allow for well-rounded students come graduation day. The fine arts program is also extremely well funded, and allows for students to pursue their interests. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Syosset's teachers are paid higher, our taxes are higher, and our superintendent gets paid too much, but results come at a cost. I cannot speak about the Special Education programs as I have no personal experience with them, but for the average student going through Syosset, the results speak for themselves. A shout out to the Girls Varsity Tennis Team which has won Long Island Championships for 3 years in a row! Rock on girls, make me proud :)

First of all seeing these other reviews I am so very annoyed that these people are sharing reviews…read morebased on their experience from YEARS ago. Do not listen to them. I graduated from this school in 2012 and I must say I had an amazing experience. The classes and grades were very small so the learning environment is very intimate which made it so much easier to learn. The teachers were all very wonderful and cared greatly for their students. I received a wonderful education that prepared me greatly for high school, and it was very obvious in high school that I and others that attended this school were much more prepared than students from other schools. We learned discipline and respect for one another. I received a wonderful religious education and would not trade it for anything so please disregard these other reviews, because they do not apply to the current status of this wonderful school.

Okay the two reviews here are from 15-20 years ago so come on! Catholic schools in general were…read morevery different back then and they sound like they had bones to pick. With that said, my review is CURRENT! My daughter has been attending OLV (as we call it) this past year for their full day prek program. She absolutely loves it and it has been so good for her- not only socially (Never went to day care), but academically and spiritually. She is excelling at her letters and numbers (which since she wasn't in daycare I thought she might be behind). They learn about God and religion at the same time which I could not be happier. The kids are all very respectful. It's a nice small school with a community feel to it and everyone knows everyone. If My daughter is having a bad day, I can tell the office manager and she says she'll check up on her. You don't get that in a public school. And we actually live two blocks away from a public school but I felt it was too large and she would get lost in it. I don't regret my decision at all and as hard as it will be financially, we plan to keep her there till the end with 8th grade. Also want to mention their after school program is awesome. So flexible. I work from home so sometimes I can pick her up and sometimes I can't. I can call the school on the fly and put her in the after school program that day and I pay as I use it! A lot of other schools make you pay for set days with a monthly fee whether you use it or not. So please please don't go by reviews from eons ago and feel free to contact me if you want to talk about the school further! I'd be happy to help... because that's what parents at this school do for each other!

As a student in the middle school I want to say that the high school side is more biased than the…read moremiddle school side. the high schoolers get different lunches every day but the middle schoolers only get tacos and pizza. The girls also have better bathrooms than the boys do. The girls get mirrors but the boys get no mirrors and the soap is outside of the bathroom which is very disfunctional. The boys locker room is very wild and I always have to worry about getting my stuff stolen or getting into an altercation. The weight room is not bad but not good. the dumbbell handles are dirty and covered in dead skin. Some of the barbells are brown and rusty. The weight room is also very tiny. I would be walking past a guy doing squats and be hit in the elbow with their barbell. The area outside of the weight room is used for other workouts because of how tiny the space is.

I attended Notre Dame from 1987-1996, Kindergarten to 8th grade. Some of the warmest memories I…read morehave of childhood were formed there. A small school, there were only maybe 25 students in our class, and very little turnover, so it provided nice continuity and the ability to establish close friendships for 9 years. The building and classrooms were well maintained. Of course, back in that stone age there was not as much emphasis on computers, so I can't speak to the resources they have today in that area. I very much enjoyed my teachers, and the quality of the education was decent, although I would say it was severely lacking in STEM resources, music, and athletic programs. This may have changed. Although it was a Catholic school, non-Catholic students attended, which might have been difficult for them given that there is a big connection between the school and the church which adjoins it--lots of masses, sacramental preparation, etc. Even though I am not Catholic, I thought that the discussions about morality that took place in the school gave me a strong ethical orientation which I appreciate. As far as the student body, it was not diverse, but at the time the area wasn't very diverse, so hopefully more integration has taken place since then. All this to the side, as a child I loved this school, and I now have a PhD, so maybe loving school is the most important thing.
