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.

Patchogue-Medford High School is a school that I have not known for a long time. In the time that I have been a student I have learned that this school is an academically excellent school. The classes are very good plus the students are all very kind. The only couple of things they could improve is the heat problems during the summer and the some building issues.

My experience with Patchogue Medford high school has been for the most part good, I was able to go through all 4 years of school without having much difficulty and the teachers were nice except a few which is to be expected. The cafeteria food was good and there were very few times where it was a bad experience, and the school has many resources and clubs to choose from so I say the school isn't so bad.

There is no communication at all with the school district at all. I feel that I have not been prepared enough for college and the application process at all.

All of these programs my children have benefited from. They've excelled academically and stayed on the...

Why are we returning back to 5 days when there are new Covid cases popping up literally every single day? This school is already crowded enough with the seniors. Like, imagine bringing literally all the students from 9-12 together and watch us collide with each other and get Covid.
