My experience in this school from the last 3 years was rough. Teachers are so quick to bring a grade down, but not up. They don't care about the students mental-wellbeing. I felt like it was prison, having to wake up at 6:30am and going to bed at 11PM every day, just to come here for 7 hours. The food here is gross, and the head lunch monitor does not work well with students. The hall monitors are super crummy, and are very selective in disciplining the students. They let some go the wrong way in the halls, and then they yell at some kids. Overall, 3/5.

Half-Hollow Hills school district overall is a quality education. All 3 of my children graduated from this district within the last 3-4 years and I found they adjusted well to college and did not struggle to make the adjustment due to academic weaknesses. The environment has a decently diverse student body for Long Island if that is what you are looking for. However, I would caution that treatment of African-American students has been sub-par in my view and the district needs to do better in this area. It isn't in your face discrimination but matters are not handled transparently and evenly in my view. I believe the district should look to emphasize character and and respect for others more. The proportion of persons of color in the faculty is poor. Again, this is an area the district needs to do more. You will need to stay on top of the faculty to ensure your child is being treated with fairness.There is a lot of passive aggressive behavior and classism that we witnessed in terms of the environment even though a lot of the families are really not wealthy but they feel they are. In terms of overall education I would say it is a good if not great value for the money but far from perfect district to send your kids to.

My child/children has gone here for some time now and I really like most of the staff that I have came in contact with, my child is eager to learn but not excited anymore and that’s a problem
