South Groves adheres to the NYS Common Core Standards Curriculum. There is essentially little to no difference in what a child learns here over what he/she will learn at any other elementary school on Long Island. Syosset uses GoMath which is a CC math program that other districts in New York use; nothing here is cutting edge or uniquely different. The teachers are easily accessible if you have any questions, which should be expected. South Groves does offer some additional “Brown Bag Lunch Programs” in several different subjects ranging from art to science that children can choose to participate in during recess. The facilities are in fair condition at best, technology is almost non-existent (they aren’t using the latest Smart Board technology, computers etc.) Overall the school is fine, my children enjoy going but I am still trying to figure out what the attraction is to the “famed Syosset School District.”

Very Very Good. I really enjoyed it a lot. Everyone was very supportive.

I am a current sophomore at Syosset High School as of now along with my sister who is a freshman. Looking at statewide averages and percentiles came as a surprise to us seeing how low they really were. Although many people say the school is too competitive, we take it as motivation, just as most of my peers do. The after-school activities are a real pro when considering Syosset High School. Anything imaginable is likely available to try. Teachers are either really good or pretty poor. New classes such as wellness support that most reviews under this post are incorrect, where mental health and safety are HIGHLY promoted. For us athletes, we received new lights for the turf field, a new state-of-the-art gym, and vast fields for various sports. If you are considering moving to Syosset and reading this, I would recommend you ignore the other comments as they are likely not motivated to compete and become successful later in life. I have a nice balance and equilibrium between hanging out with friends, sports, homework, and other hobbies.
