Need a list of good school districts with low property taxes. I'm starting looking for my first home and am having a very difficult time finding good school district who's property to tax is under 10k in nassau. We are a family of six going from renting to owning. Any help is appreciated.

When you find that special place on LI, please post it here, I am certain that many have searched for that place too and thus far have not been able to find it.
2/3 of your property taxes goes to the schools....you get what you pay for. If you're a family of 6, you have 3-4 kids? That's a great deal even with average Nassau taxes.
Bethpage and NHP you will be getting a tiny home that is barely over 1000sq ft and it will for sure have things wrong with it. 10k in nassau is easily done but combine that with a good school district near impossible, under 12k and your options expand drastically.

True. No matter how much you spend, your kids are costing neighbors far more than what you're paying. Each kid costs the district upwards of $36,000 per year to educate, so your neighbors with no kids are carrying a heavy tax load and receiving nothing back.
Great, as in universally acclaimed like Jericho or Syosset? Sorry, no. Very good, good and average, though, is possible. Look at Mineola. If you are even more open minded look at Hicksville and Valley Stream SDs 24 and 30. I can't think of any other districts that would be less in terms of property taxes. Maybe Oceanside is doable with some houses?
Nobody on this forum is going to tell you any of those districts are "great", but students in those districts perform pretty well, facilities and programs are fine. These aren't places where serious corners are cut, buildings are subpar, safety is an issue or anything like that. They all serve very diverse populations, generally all middle-middle class, but not wealthy.
Family of 6 really could use a 4 bed 2 bath plus home. That brings you into larger square footage homes which normally will be higher priced in livable condition. "Livable" meaning a safe and sound home but seriously outdated and in need of repairs. Wood paneling, carpet throughout, almond appliances and a sea of formica in the kitchen. If you can deal with that you can squeak into a decent community for $5-600k with taxes of around 10-12, 14k a year.
That will give you options all along south Nassau...Merrick, Bellmore, Wantagh, maybe Pequa.
All "decent" communities with "decent" schools.
It's house by house really. One home can has 16k tax and the next 10k. The ones with low taxes sell very very quickly though.
