Andrew T Morrow School

Excellent district, staff is amazing, my daughter learned so much from the curriculum. Very happy with Hauppauge School District.

Preschool program at Slocum is outstanding. I believe it is run by NYS SCOPE but I must say the teachers and assistants there are giving my grandchild the best preschool experience I could ever expect. As a retired teacher I know quality when I see it. My grandson loves going to school and is so excited about learning. This is due to the nurturing care and educational experiences Mrs M & Mrs P put into their classes. They have set the foundation for a positive learning experience that will continue throughout their future school years. Teacher quality does make a difference. I hope my grandson will continue to have such a wonderful experience as he continues his education at Slocum.

As an educator of color, my experience working at this institution was deeply disappointing and, at times, emotionally exhausting. Throughout my time there, I experienced repeated disrespect from students, including racially charged comments and behavior that should have been addressed immediately by administration.Rather than holding students accountable consistently, there appeared to be a pattern of prioritizing parent satisfaction and institutional image over teacher well being and professional respect. Several parent interactions were also inappropriate, accusatory, and dismissive, despite a lack of evidence to support their claims.What troubled me most was the lack of meaningful support when boundaries were crossed. Teachers are expected to maintain professionalism under immense pressure, yet there seemed to be little protection when staff members, particularly Black educators, were subjected to racism, hostility, disrespect, or bias.For families considering this school, I hope the institution reflects seriously on the culture it is fostering. For educators considering employment here, especially educators of color, I would strongly encourage asking detailed questions about administrative support, disciplinary accountability, and how issues involving race and discrimination are actually handled in practice, not just in policy.
