CSH alum. Only thing better than CSHHS education is one at a v good prep school. Social environment can be rigorous, which serves to prepare kids for the outside world. Concerns about security are rather bizarre. This isn't a jail or reform school. CSHHS kids do have some autonomy, but that's preferable
... Read more for most parents than sentries posted on the school grounds. This isn't the sort of community where stepping off school grounds is akin to lack of safety. CSH is beyond safe, harkening back to an earlier day. When 96% of CHSHS grads go on to college there will be no security officers telling them where to go and not go. Perhaps the concerns are from people from elsewhere than CSH, reflecting fears/values from very different sorts of communities. Simply put: this is not a coddling environment in any way and prepares most kids to thrive in life beyond HS. Read less

If the measure of success for a high school is student performance, student and parent involvement and acceptance to the college of your choice, CSH would have to rate A+. This is not to say that CSHHS doesn't have some of the same problems and obstacles as any other school, but when success becomes

CSHHS has the highest % of students going on to 4 year colleges on Long Island (95%) and the highest rate of students graduating with Regents diplomas (98%). That is a testament to the teachers, administrators, parents and the students themselves. This school district has not failed to pass a budget in decades and has the highest bond rating of any comparable district in the state.

I could not have picked a better school for my children to attend. Ranked at No. 16 in Newsweek's national rankings, CSHHS provides an extremely competitive academic environment with access to a myriad of honors and AP classes. Teachers are hard working and accessible. Because it is highly rated, the

The sports teams are also excellent with numerous State, County and League championships. The fact that it is a smaller school (under 600) means more opportunity for even average athletes to participate and contribute. However, if you are a child who is not athletic or social, it can be a tough environment. A brand new performing arts center is adding a needed boost to the arts programs here. Parents are very involved and parental involvement through school related groups is appreciated. Read less

CSHH is an experience. I am a student there now and I have mixed feelings about my school. Sometimes my school isn't as safe as it could be, I love most of my teachers, but the enviorment and the kids aren't a 'happy family'. The kids in our school are all about the money.
