Middle Country School district (Brookhaven, Holbrook: house, law school, colleges)

[Danomul]

Looking at a house in Centereach Right off Smith Rd, between Holbrook Rd and Hawkins. Can anyone advise how the area is compared with Lake Grove/Holbrook. Seems to be much more reasonable in terms of taxes. Is the Middle Country School District that much worse than Sachem?

I have 4 family members who graduated from Middle Country in the last 10 years and they had a great experience with the district. All 4 continued their education to 4 year colleges (1 continued through law school). My personal opinion is that in regard to schools, you get what you put into it. If a student works hard and stays focused, they will do well no matter what district they are in.

Sachem used to be an elite school but nowadays they seam to be on par with each other. Most of the local schools are decent but Middle country is definitely not a lesser one then Sachem

For those who may not be familiar with Centereach:

Centereach is a hamlet (an unincorporated area) in the west part of the Town of Brookhaven, in the central part of Suffolk County.

Beginning on the north and moving in a clockwise direction, the Hamlet of Centereach in the Town of Brookhaven is bordered on the north by Hamlet of Setauket-East Setauket; on the east by the Hamlet of Terryville and the Hamlet of Selden; on the south by the Hamlet of Farmingville, the Hamlet of Holtsville and the Hamlet of Lake Ronkonkoma; and, on the west by the Hamlet of Lake Ronkonkoma, the Village of Lake Grove and the Hamlet of Stony Brook.





The Hamlet of Centereach has a different border than does the "Centereach, NY 11720" ZIP Code postal zone (i.e., a place can have a "Centereach, NY 11720" mailing address and not be in the Hamlet of Centereach and a place can have other than a "Centereach, NY 11720" mailing address and be in the Hamlet of Centereach): places that have a "Centereach, NY 11720" mailing address that are not in the Hamlet of Centereach are in the Hamlet of Farmingville and the Hamlet of Selden; and, at the same time, there are places in the Hamlet of Centereach with a "Selden, NY 11784" mailing address.
