My fiancee was a teacher in Malverne High School & Middle School for about two years. It's HORRIBLE. If you live in Malverne, you send your kids to private school because the public schools are shared with Lakeview...it's a "less affluent" community inbetween Rockville Centre and Malverne.
As a matter of fact, I was once told that Lakeview, which is more or less a township of Rockville Center, is supposed to be a part Rockville Center SD.... To put it bluntly, Rockville Center is very upscale and ritsy and they made it that Lakeview kids couldn't attend their schools because the rich white folk didn't want their kids mingling with black kids...so they got dumped in Malverne.
Maybe your fiancee was a HORRIBLE teacher since he couldn't last the 3 years it takes to get tenure
Listen, Malverne is a great community. I've spent A LOT of time there and know the area very well. There's things to do, places to go, great restaurants and there's an awesome bowling alley there that does (or used to do) $2 bowling on Sunday nights.
The person that originally started this thread ("Looking4MyHouse") was asking about school system. Why sugarcoat anything? The reality of the matter is that if you're going to move to Malverne, you're going to spend a lot of money to buy a house and spend a LOT of money on taxes and you better make some room in your budget to stick your kids in Our Lady of Lourdes because the public schools are anything but stellar.
And just an FYI- Sure tenure is what 3 of 4 years teaching in a district? After the Assistant Superintendent got his nice raise, the district laid off all of its non-tenured teachers because of "cut-backs."

1. Anything but stellar is not the same as "HORRIBLE"
2. Mass exodus at Lourdes over the last 5 years.
3.I've been here 15 years and can't remember cutbacks until these past 2.

There is NOTHING to do in Malverne and the restarants are okay. Are you sure you have the right town? The movie theatre is the only draw. The kids in Malverne have nothing to do and no place to socialize other than the streets and schoolyards and the owners of the bowling alley are rude and have no customer service skills whatsoever. If you want to talk taxes I pay over 100 a week to the village for police and sanitation. No rec center, no tennis, no youth programs outside of sports, no senior center, no pool, no real ammenities.
look at rockville centre which not only lies about its school district but also shuttles kids out of their schools so they can be counted in thei stats and ita a drug infested pill popping town

Are you sure you are not the one taking the drugs. I could barely understand what you typed. What do you mean by "shuttle kids out of their schools?"

From my quick review of this website I did not see many posts from people who actually attended Malverne High School. The following is a excerpt from the forward of the 1972 Oracle (the Malverne High School yearbook):
"Microcosm...from the Greek mikros kosmos, small universe. Malverne High School, a miniature replica of the society it is intended to prepare us for, replete with the flaws and virtues, extremes and means, that make society more than hell and less than heaven...those who care and those that don't, those that learn and those that don't....myriad groups (occasionally in harmony)...like the fragments of a mosaic compose a complete picture."
I am pleased to read that there is an effort to bring Malverne residents back into the school. Look up posts on websites such as classmates.com and read quotes from the students who actually attended the school. A common theme runs through many of their comments....Malverne High School taught them how to effectively deal with people from diverse backgrounds.
