GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I believe Jericho High School is an excellent place in terms of education and college preparedness. Although it is lacking in terms of athletics and diversity, I believe the quality of education and the many resources it has to help the student makes up for this. Additionally, with its high-quality research program, Jericho High School is definitely one of the best places for those hoping to become a pre-med or stem-related major.

Years since the stellar education they got here, some wish they had evolved, but are indeed the same.

This school’s reputation for being one of the “best” schools in the nation is a bit of smoke and mirrors. The majority of the students go to outside tutoring institutions after school and in the summer, learning curriculums before they are taught at the school. Test scores are not necessarily repres...

Choosing this school district for my 2 sons is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. My kids are happy, successful and is surrounded by a group of kids who share similar goals.
