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 will always cherish my time at Manhasset Secondary School. There were always plenty of academic resources for those who needed extra help. From extra help classes to a peer responder program where you receive help from honors students. Teachers always willing to make time for extra help. Class notes and assignments listed on the Canvas system so even when you are out sick you don't fall behind. Very caring environment and I always felt safe.

I loved the theater community at Manhasset and found such a family there. I enjoyed my classes and found them a good level of challenging. However, the school board was really conservative so it made it harder to make the school a more inclusive place for all minorities.

I liked the teachers and the drive they had when pushing students to work hard and being available to help their students succeed. The administrators tried hard to make sure that students felt safe in school. However i wish that the school mascot was changed because it can be seen as offensive to Native Americans.

However, some students tend not to...

I don't even know where to begin. Teachers- a select few teachers are phenomenal while others deserve to be fired immediately. A good majority do nothing and just collect money. Others go above and beyond for students which is great. After-school activities- sports are everything. If you aren't play...

I was shocked at some of the reviews I read regarding Manhasset schools. I attended the public schools in Manhasset from a young age, graduated, went to an Ivy League school and then a superb law school. I moved back to Manhasset so my children can obtain the same great education I did. One of my ch...

I attended Manhasset for my 9th grade and half of 10th grade years. Though the teachers and staff were phenomenal, and helped me leave, the environment in this school created by the kids was very exclusive. You were either in a group or out of it - and if you weren't able to be classified, you were...
