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 grew up in Bay Shore. We moved to Selden when I started my Freshman year. It was a smooth transition. I felt welcomed by the staff and peers.

I didn't mind high school but going from that to college was a big change. A lot of the teachers don't prepare you for school and think that we would all be fine. that food at school was gross and not edible.

My experience at newfield high school is an average experience since I came to the school in my sophomore year but there are a little unique things about the school which make it above average. One of those things I'd like to say is the teacher I had for my junior year they were some of the best teachers I've ever had. Most importantly was my computer science teacher it was always fun learning with her. Another good thing about the school was the school shop they had some amazing cookies. On the contrary there was some downsides too I believe the school was a bit chaotic at some points which was alright. Nonetheless I can't wait to spend my last year there
