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 had 4 of the best years of my life here. I wouldn't want to go to school anywhere else. When I moved to Seaford from Howard Beach, I didn't know anyone and everyone here made me feel like I belonged and I am so grateful to call these people my best friends. The lessons that I learned at Seaford High School are unforgettable. I discovered my passion at this school, Music. Without music I wouldn't be where I am today. I owe every ounce of success in my future to this school.

The school allows students to hit kids. When brought to administration, nothing is done. Building is falling apart and code violations all over the place. The staff is nice but it’s clear most of admin doesn’t care about the students. Do better SHS!

I have a child in elementary school and another a senior in High School. The teachers care about whether the children are learning.

This is a GREAT school! Yes, there is the occasional bad teacher that somehow made tenure despite their lack of teaching abilities, but there are so many other teachers that are so intelligent and invested in their students. Until a few years ago, when a new long awaited contract was signed, dozens...

Public School teachers rock! The teachers at this school gave me a priceless education. I came to this school from a Dunce Duncan private school, with terrible study habits and no intellectual curiosity, and learned to learn here. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Public school teachers are th...
