so we've narrowed it to sea cliff or rvc with huntington a maybe because we love it but the commute frightens me. Found one house we love in Floral Park but not sure about the high school there. All signs point to sea cliff thus far but I have to get into contract with our slow as molasses buyers first.
FP with Chaminade High school? Great school great academics.
i know but with 3 boys, chaminade will get pricey. Also after 4 years of molloy i am not sure i want to subject them to catholic school
Ah, fellow Stanner here, LOL. I understand the economics but from what I understand, Chaminade's alumni puts plenty of bucks back into the school with lots of scholarships available.
Just remember to figure in commuting expenses to the equation when running the numbers. You might find a significant difference between the areas, helping you to make a decision.

Going from FS to FP is like jumping from the frying pan into the fire as far as high schools are concerned. You;ll find FP has a large popultion of Catholic schoolers.
Huntington has good music and art programs but you never know what will happen with the budgets this year.
Non-jocks can do OK in GC but you are right about that culture. Go to a parade there sometime - the middle school band is about twice the size of the HS band which I think is sad.

How bad is Floral Park H.S.? Floral Park seems like it is a very nice town.
