Devine Ave, Syosset, NY 11791

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.”
