SCSD has it's ups and downs just like any other school district. The arts program at SCSD is amazing. 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. read more

Syosset Central School District - Elementary Schools Near Me - Woodbury, New York

See all

SCSD is a blue ribbon district! Wonderful in more ways than one. There is a reason they send the most 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 :) read more

Once again I must go in on my local School District for its lack of fiscal control. Administrative cost are clearly out of hand. We already have 2 of the highest paid Administrators in NYS. Now I see the Director of Pupil Personnel Services has been elevated to a Superintendency. Why and how much $ comes with the new title and did "We the People" approve it. I am disturbed by the tendency of those in charge in education to spend other peoples money so freely. our elected School Board are puppets of administration. Invest in the students not in the salaries of administrators. read more
