Can anyone please share any thoughts on the education or guidance offered at Massapequia Schools? How many kids are in the High School?

Many thanks in advance.

Positive. That's directly off the NYS report cards. The entire district has 8000 kids.

Massapequa is generally regarded as one of the better school systems. Consistently solid "numbers" in test grades and students continuing on to college. I wouldn't hesitate for a moment if deciding to send kids to the Massapequa district....the answer would be yes.

They've even got plenty of famous alumni...Jerry Seinfeld, Alec Baldwin, Daniel Baldwin, William Baldwin, Stephen Baldwin (I think that covers the brothers); Peggy Noonan, Marvin Hamlisch, Ron Kovic, Dee Snyder.....

You've omitted Brian Setzer (The Stray Cats)

Don't forget the likes of Jessica Hahn and Joey Buttafuoco (and Mary Jo, too!)

Brian Setzer...that's a good one, thanks!

Jessica and Joey?.......Don't believe I've ever heard of them
But you are right with them too.

I don't think Dee Snider is from Massapequa, but if we're talking infamous residents, let's not forget Roy Demeo and Carlo Gambino.
