I heard about this a few years ago. It seems that part of it may be attributed to the cost of private schools now, so they are deciding if their money is better spent with "foundational" learning and then public High School or vice versa for better entrance chances into college. This of course, totally depends upon the location. For example. If you live in the Hempstead or Roosevelt school district and can afford it, you need both.

If I were you, I'd be looking at parts of Great Neck near the water, maybe Kings Point even. But I love Manhasset Hills. Just spectacular. Flower Hill and East Hills are also great areas north of the LIE and Northern Parkways.

First point, GC's proximity to Hempstead/Uniondale is a non-issue.

Second, if you cannot afford GC (as you alluded to) then those locales are even less affordable.

As a few have pointed out, that might be possible north of the tracks in Syosset, but in that case budget will be an issue.

I thought Split Rock School was the most desirable in Syosset. LOL (I know that grand building was ripped down long ago). Should have heard the shrieks some folks made about having to then ship the kids south to Village or the architectural horror known as Berry Hill.

Yea I can agree with what you've said here as there are some tiny lots in South Syosset. North Syosset has better lots but like you've said budget may be an issue. To be honest this whole neighborhood is just overpriced LOL.
