"Some of these posts, are submitted by a parent who has children that can do no wrong?...Most of the posts here of sour grapes. I have one son who went through and achieved great succesess academically over the sports that he played. My daughter currently attends and is often asked if she needs help in subjects to bring up grades with success and my youngest has no problem playing sports and keeping a high honor role grade in excellerated classes from 1st through junior high school. I did not have the opportunity to attend such schools growing up in Brooklyn and Queens. Suck it up. Although not perfect, our children have a damn good school system, if your parenting in the right way."

"Massapequa High School is severely underrated as to it's academics. The Administration has done a great deal in the last several years to up the ante, so to speak, academically. It's paying off - the students are enrolled in higher level courses and the graduates are getting into schools which for years were closed to Massapequa kids. Are there drugs at Massapequa? Yes but someone tell me a school where there aren't drugs? Is it rampant or out of control? NO WAY! Unfortunately when you find a community where the kids have money the kids will use drugs. The teaching staf is excellent and I feel lucky that my kids have had and will continue to have the benefits of an excellent staff!"

"To much money spent on sports. The teachers are lazy and over paid. There is also alot of drug use and not enough being done about it."

"Massapequa high school is one of the best high schoo ls within NY state. Although its main concern does appear to be sports (althletes are highly regaurded as almost all teams donminate their sport), the administration seems to be putting more emphasis on academics as more and more students are being encouraged to enroll into AP classes as well as other college credit courses. This may or may not be a good idea depending upon your opinion of who should be enrolled in such courses. The electives awailable at MHS are exceptional and allow for students to truly focus on their main subject of interest. Overall MHS is great school that will provide your child with a strong foundation for success in the future."
