Does Wading River down by Wildwood State Park go to Riverhead schools or SWR?
I think part of that area is considered Baiting Hollow, esp Fresh Pond Rd. Baiting Hollow should be SWR schools, it may actually be a shorter to trip west to SWR than Riverhead.
Or Baiting Hollow should form it's own SD to avoid getting dragged down by Riverhead schools.

so we are deciding on seaford, bellmore and maybe massapequa. not too certain which is best. i heard massapequa is iffy..........
Squat to do? Not for me, miles and miles of trails in the beautiful pine barrens to explore. Wish I lived out there. Sure, if the city and wall to wall ppl is your thing you'll love Nassau, but if you're a nature lover like me M.I., Ridge, Panamoka, Baiting Hollow, Wading River, Rocky point are just perfect. There's enough shopping for me, a decent supermarket (King Kullen),etc.

I never understood everyones gripe with riverhead schools. The test scores seem to be above average.

the clincher is that they moved from rocky point.
dont understand the logic there.
Idiots. They could have had a beautiful house in SWR for the same price, with great schools. Miller place too.

Keep in mind....people on LI are affraid of their own shadows. Thats why Riverhead gets a bad rap. Its not the best but its def. better than what people make it out to be. A co-worker who lives in Wading River has sent 3 kids to Riverhead public school system & all three graduated or are in college. Its all the same textbooks..its what the student takes from them!

Riverhead.

I agree, but it will never happen

Too many retirees out there.

Same with Rocky Point and most likely with lower taxes.

Could score a small waterfront for 500 here too.

Again..cant just go by the scores.
It seems like anyone with two nickels to rub togehter out there sends their kids to Mercy.(They have a lot of Drugs and BS from what I hear).

Let me put it to you this way....We dont have charter schools in NE Brookhaven.

Ive heard the Riverhead Elementary schools are very good, its the HS has all the drama.
