How do the school districts on the East End of LI stack up against the titans of (Levittown: homes)

[smittyjohnny38]

LI such as Jericho, CSH, Garden City etc! What towns on the East End (On either of the forks) offer a top notch education through their schools? Thanks!

Sorry to say, but none of them really. I know someone from Southold who is attending Chaminade in Mineola.

Wow that is a hike and a half! I thought that Westhampton had a decent high school?

A few of my clients (very well known powerhouse Hamptons dentists) have homes in Great Neck or Syosset so their kids go to school there instead of Southhampton or Bridgehampton which is where they also live and practice.

Could be, but I have heard of otherwise before

The East End is not known for its schools.

Reason being, they are mainly SUMMER communities and the muckety mucks who own homes there have their all season homes in other grand locations with good schools.

So the schools on the East End are "much lesser than" those in the places you mention.

And if you wanna cry ... the property taxes (which are mostly made up of SCHOOL taxes) are also "much lesser than" many middle class places on LI. For example go to MLSLI.com and search for:

MLS# 2511840
29 Squires Path
EAST HAMPTON, NY 11937
Total Taxes: $4,929
List Price: $1,595,000

compared to:

MLS# 2492722
76 Stirrup Ln
LEVITTOWN, NY 11756
Total Taxes: $10,299
List Price: $275,500

As I understand it Quogue schools were fairly well regarded.
