"I am a senior at FHS and I wouldn't want to go anywhere else. I have academic and personal support from any adult in the building, their goal is to see everyone succeed. My auto tech class is fortunate enough to have two lifts and a lot of equipment that lets us do more than just an oil change. There is an extra curricular activity for everyone and most people take advantage of it. The environment we have is really unique, truly like a community of our own. There's a class for almost everything to. And when its time to graduate, they make it easier for you to apply to colleges. I'm proud to be a Daler."

"I feel this school offers students so much in the way of course choice as well as extracurricular activities. Its Humanities program is second to none, their drama and music departments win yearly awards, and their sports teams are competetive. There's a real sense of community here from pre-school through 12th grade."

"I ama parent of a senior at F.H. I cannot say enough about how the school has taken a 360 turnaround for the better. The Principal, as well as the asisstant Principal are an excellent asset to the school. The are so hands on with everything. Keeping ALL kids inline. They are always at school functions, as an added bonus they particpate in most if not all activities. They also know the kids by there first names. I was picking up my daughter one day and the principal asked my daughter by name was she ok? I said how does he know your name?????? She said he knows all the kids by name. I thought that is one indication of a very well run school. I am very happy with the education she recieved in her 4 years of F.H. I have a up and comming 6th grader."

"Quality academics and involved parents make for a good environment. Problems? Sure, there are some, but these are the same that you will find in any HS on LI. Plenty of opportunity and students will get out of it what they put in."

"The standards at Farmingdale High School may be typical of Long Island schools. If so, it doesn't bode well for the future. Teaching new knowledge is kept to the minimum allowed standards. Much of the class time which should be used to impart new knowledge and skills is used for reviewing past material and coaching for standardized tests. Teachers typically give students an entire week's homework assignments on a Monday so if they choose, they can do the homework before the material's taught in class. when many of the teachers get through the daily lesson early, instead of going into more depth and perhaps benefitting the students, they allow students to either socialize or do homework. Homework used to be called HOMEwork for a reason, something many teachers at FHS seem to have forgotten. In the spirit of the holiday season however, I'll be generous and give a 2-star rating."
