Well that happens to be the lowest rated school district in all of Nassau County so that would not be ideal, but I stand by my statement that a child could still do well there. However I would live in Hempstead as a single man if I got a good deal on an apartment there. But I'd rather live in either NYC or Philadelphia, I hope I get the opportunity within the next few years.
But there are plenty of majority minority school districts where I would be comfortable sending my kids, since that's what you seem to be getting at. Definitely Baldwin UFSD, where I went to school.
I lived part-time in Amityville Village for over a decade and really miss it. I plan on moving back soon. It's a lovely community, with a lot of fancy, older housing stock, a charming downtown area, its own police department, and a good location at the bottom of the Rt 110 corridor and along the LIRR Babylon branch. I'd argue it is one of the only areas in Suffolk County where you can get by without a car.
As previously mentioned, the only downside is the school district. Almost everyone who can afford it uses private school (it's not a matter of race, lots of black families use private school too).
I wonder if what happened to Bay Shore SD can happen to Amityville, with the community standing up and taking back their district from the inept administration.
The Village is wonderful with boutique type quaint stores. The North side is experiencing some major renovations right now. Luxury appointments are in the process of being built on Broadway and there is also a newer condo development on the same strip on Broadway/route 110.
