Thanks for doing this again. I did Commack and Plainedge on my own (I'm moving from Plainedge to Commack) and know how much time is involved!

As someone who has been looking at real estate prices A LOT the past year while looking for a house to purchase, I feel like Commack is a "Best Buy" school considering the prices available for homes in the area, so I am happy with my choice of school districts. It looks like Massapequa is a great buy as well for Nassau County.

Interesting list

For comparison purposes, where would NYC public schools rank?

Yawn.

Doing well in school starts with the parents.

Looks about right. Harborfields in a virtual tie with Syosset is interesting (nitpicker alert: I know it is 93.7 v 93.1).

Right, so we no one should judge school performance because that's the ONLY THING that matters.

If that were the case there'd be no such thing as charter, magnet, or private schools, heh.

Of course. But these lists are fun anyway.
I'v ealways wondered why a high school teacher with 120 kids can have a wide disribution of grades. Same textbooks, same classroom environment, same classmates, same teacher, same food at lunch, same sneakers, same haircuts. But the parents/homelife are different. That seems to be the variable most in play. By far. (Nitpicker alert: of course there are exceptions).

Judge all you want but people on LI tend to base everything around that when looking for a home. Pick a home u like- most school districts on LI will provide a good enough education if you are doing your job as a parent.
