NWR: School Districts

How do you determine what school district a home is zoned for? Is there a website or something that might help?

Re: NWR: School Districts

Where are you located? Do you have a school calander?

Re: NWR: School Districts

I'm looking at a home in Nesconset and it says Sachem but how do I find out if 1) that is correct and 2) what elementary and so forth would that be?

Re: NWR: School Districts

I can't answer your question. but I live in the Sachem SD and I have to tell you, it is VERY good, from what I hear.

Re: NWR: School Districts

Check out: http://nces.ed.gov/ccd/schoolsearch/ if you do a search for new york zip 11767 it will tell you. hope it helps.

Re: NWR: School Districts

Thank you - I attended Sachem so of course I think highly of it but what I am concerned about is whether this particular home is in the Sachem school district or Smithtown...both are good in my opinion I just need to know which one it really is. The home seems to border the Smithtown/Bookhaven line.

Wait didn't like the way that sounded...what I meant was I attended Sachem and remember that at the time it was a very good school...happy to hear it still has a good reputation.

Re: NWR: School Districts

the central school office should know

Re: NWR: School Districts

I think nesconset is sachem - not smithtown. We looked there too

Re: NWR: School Districts

You can call the town hall. They will have it on file. Or call the receiver of taxes.

Re: NWR: School Districts

As a side note. I love nesconset!!! Such a great town.

it definitely is. my dad knows someone at work who moved to a certain town just to be in the Sachem SD

Re: NWR: School Districts

sorry to butt in on 05 BUT like someone said, parts of nesconset are sachem BUT most are smithtown. BOTH benig good school distrcts (rivals for sports too being a former smithtowner )

Re: NWR: School Districts

Thanks everyone. From all the help I was able to determine that the road this house is located on is cut in half by bountry lines. This house is in the town of Smithtown and the school looks to be Sachem. Funny how a street can be divided into two towns.

Re: NWR: School Districts

so does that mean you are paying smithtown taxes for sachem schools?



ETA - that may be a good thing - isn't sachem due this year for a 17% increase. Smithtowns budget was voted down twice right?

Re: NWR: School Districts

Good point...that's what I am trying to research now. How can it be that our kids would attend a school where we don't even pay taxes? You know in a round about way?

Re: NWR: School Districts

Hey ang, I think you may be better off in the sachem district. I like smithtown alot but I think sachem may have more to offer. although its not the same anymore. so many changes since we went.

Re: NWR: School Districts

Ok spoke to co worker and they said to call the Town Assesors office and they will have all info on taxes and schools if you give them the address. HTH!

Re: NWR: School Districts

my mother in law works there
