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 feel during my time at SWR I found that everyone is very similar. It is a very small but safe school. Most teachers try their hardest.

Experience was good. A small district so small class students and more attention from teachers. You are able to build connections with teachers and peers very easily.

I have enjoyed my time at Shoreham-Wading River but there can be a couple things that can definitely be changed to make this school district for example the teachers could be more strict with kids and also they should have the board more involved with the community and spend there money wisely.
