Tell your sister to do her homework. Brentwood is notorious for gang violence. If the school line falls toward Islip Terrace you've lucked out, but Central Islip, also a catastrophe. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

I second that. Make sure she visits the area around the schools. That area looks nice, because most of Long Island is pretty nice, but tell her not to be fooled by appearances.

I remember when Brentwood was a nice area. That was 35 years ago. Once the white people started to leave, it was all down hill.

Of all the places she could move, Brentwood would definitely not be the best choice on our beautiful Island!! My sister-in-law teaches in Brentwood school district and it's a tough school...and I don't mean academically. Unless there is a specific reason she's moving to that town, I would strenuously advise against it.

She was thinking that since Brentwood, CA was nice maybe Brentwood, NY was the same.

Good grief. With that sort of logic, she will not survive in NY.
