As you can clearly see right above, LI and both Nassau and Suffolk's average quality is
significantly better than the rest of NYS. For instance, I would rate a high school as to be definitely avoided if it is below a 60 score, and the rest of NYS rates below a 60. Thus, most of the school districts on LI are perfectly fine middle of the road school districts.
