Attendance zones are easy to change while district lines are next to impossible to change.

Walter has provided us with a district map which I would wager is more recent than 1994. It indicates that the area in question is in the PSD. School districts don't rezone that easily especially when it's a matter of adding more homes to an already huge district. It is also possible that while your friend lived there, they might have been utilizing someone else's address in order to go to school in the Massapequa SD.

To answer your question, my friend lived there in the early 80's.

I had a friend on the F'dale end of Plainedge. Her house was the last house in the district on her street. I bet our friends were in the same position.

Walter's map is helpful...still trying to decipher which street it is. A close friend from PHS lived on Rhode Island off 107, so I know that part of RI is in Plainedge.
This should be a bit more helpful. You can see where Palinedge and Massapequa School districts border each other, and the northeast portion of the map (East of Broadway a few blocks north of Jerusalem) is where Farmingdale district starts.





Here is the direct link, might have to refresh, but you can move it around, adjust the size, etc, if you want to fiddle a bit.

School district administrative staff have been known to make "clerical errors" and allow someone from another school district, whose house is on or close to the border of the two districts, to attend a school in the district.

For example, I knew someone who admitted after their children had graduated from Jericho High School that they actually lived in the Hicksville Union Free School District; but, since their house was on the border of the two school districts and their mailing address was "Jericho, NY 11753", they were accepted into the Jericho Union Free School District.
