There are poor people where ever one go's, it's better to be poor and on Long Island than anywhere else. Like Frank sang,, If you can't make it here you can't make it anywhere,,NY NY...

There's no town where anyone would be fearful to walk alone at night? Did you maybe phrase that wrong? Because I can name a bunch of towns you wouldn't catch me walking in at night.

I think generally speaking, the people ranked that high would be taking APs.

The AP classes track is totally segregated from regular classes. I was shocked I went to a sweet 16 in Freeport once of a white honors student girl in AP classes in Freeport HS. She invited all her school mates who are also AP/Honors students. It could have been Rockville Centre or any other good school district.
Interesting. I never knew that. I just ASSumed Freeport HS was not recommended in general.

Not true. Come drive through North Valley Stream where most of the blacks in VS live. Houses are immaculately kept just like when the Jews and Italians lived there.

Valley Stream's Hispanic citizens are business owners and professionals across the board. They keep their houses well too. There are no illegal alien flophouses. No room here for that type of nonsense and they know it. I find it funny how whites on LI just assume all Hispanics are "problems" just by looking at them, yet the middle class and above ones have assimilated into American society fine.

LMAO! Isn't Great Neck where a kid got caught taking the SAT for other kids for money so they could have high scores on their records?
