The community-this is a community of people from more than 100 nations-its a beautiful fabric. That fact has always been overlooked, and will continue to be overlooked because at the end of the day, families have major concerns about educating their children, and the quality of that education. If you look at Central Islip's neighbors to the north-Hauppauge; to the east- Connectquot; to the south- East Islip; and to the west-Brentwood; you start to see a pattern. These towns are within a few miles in any direction. These children including Central Islip, all have the same desire to learn but there is a stark difference in the exam results.Why?Why are the results so different? So what is the constant? Could it be the experience at the school? Could it be the experience in the classroom?From experience, there is a punitive theme that greets every student and parent at the beginning of the year from teachers and administrators, so I'm not surprised at the punitive statistic.That seems to be the focus. Memo's are sent home to be signed about punitive measures at the beginning of the school year. It's definitely not a memo to outline on how I'm going to inpire,motivate and teach. There is a serious problem with accountabiity "in the classrooms" in this district. And it's the elephant in the room that no "one on the inside of this district" can fix. It's been like this for decades.Departments and teachers have a silo mentality when it comes to addressing learning. It's a place where people come to to ride the paycheck and guaranteed raises, without any requirements of performance wave. These are the highest paid teachers in the State of New York but consistently the worst in exam results for decades. Think about the irony!! How many decades of children have gone through this district with the same atrocious results. Families have moved out and brand new ones have moved in. Same results. Why? There were three items requested in this review. Describe the community(I give the people 5 stars). Experience at the school(3stars). What is it like in the classroom(1star). The poor performance of the school is being reflected onto the community when they are the least position to improve or change it. Kudos to those teachers who actually make a difference in this district. Pay very close attention to your children's schoolwork and you must supplement that at home as much as you can for their success.

I hate this school with a burning passion my daughter has problems with this school
