The few real athletes that stand out never get the respect they deserve and the coaches that want to build up the sports program do not get the respect or finanacial help they deserve. I spoken to a number of college recruiters (Berkeley, UCLA, Harvard) who had told me that the academic achievement of Lynbrook's students are very impressive, but these kids have not social skills and this is hurting them.

Lynbrook is, briefly, an amazing school. I can see why everyone is trying to move here - LHS IS an exceptional school! Friendly students and caring teachers.

Lynbrook's cross-country coach is highly dedicated and very well-known. Dance, band, orchestra, and many other extracurriplars are simply amazing. For many students, this school is highly competitive, but ultimately it's entirely up to the student to be either highly competitive or non-competitive. Excellent college preparation, unforgettable experiences - highly recommended school! Read less

I think it is an excellent school. It is extremely competitive and kids work very hard to do well in this school. If you can survive and do well in this competitive environment, you are well prepared to handle pressure of any top university!

Faculty are generally happy at Lynbrook, and it shows in the quality of instruction. Teachers aren't afraid to bring creativity into their classrooms.
