Yeah, I heard.

I feel kinda bad for the previous residents but at the same time, renters have very little rights since they don't own the property. Renters are just that: renters.

Bad news ....
Amityville Schools may have been improving lately but as per the 2011 graduating the class, things have deteriorated (in terms of stats) compared to the 2010 class:

% planning to go on to 4-year College (46%--35%)
Graduation Rate (83%--79%)

pity, too. I was inside AMHS earlier this month to see The Sound of Music. The school has a beautiful interior. college posters everywhere...very colorful, too (and I don't mean that racially). If it weren't for the lockers and the large auditorium (and I guess the posters, too), it would've looked more like an Elementary than a high school.

EDIT: Oh and can someone please elaborate as to why North Amityville isn't completely seperated from Amityville (ZIP, Schools, etc.). North Amityville and Amityville are much more different than North Babylon and Babylon or East Islip and Islip. School Districts and individual schools should be designed for the needs of the neighborhoods zoned to them (isn't that the point of 127 seperated school districts in just two counties? Amityville and North Amityville are polar opposites...
IMO North Amityville should have its own school district and the Village of Amityville should be zoned to Massapequa or even Copiague.

That's pretty much the definition of segregation. That was outlawed by Brown vs Board of Education decades ago.

You may have a point with the ZIP code thing. That may be something worth researching..
