Suffolk County School Districts...

Anyone know which are the 'best' school districts in suffolk county?? I know of just a few.. Kings Park, Smithtown.. and Three Village.. I hear Sachem is a good one also, but I also hear it is the largest SD in Suffolk. (not sure if that's good or bad)
My husband and I are house hunting in those areas, and of course the SD is VERY important, as we have an 11 year old and a toddler.

Any input would be great, thanks.

I went to Commack
and it is a very GOOD school district

I did too and I agree that it is a great district. The prices of houses in that area reflect that. I am confused as to why it is on the bottom of that list though

I used to work in Admissions at an ivy league school, and they recruited most heavily in Suffolk at Ward Melville and Smithtown--these areas had students applying with the most AP classes, and the greatest number of National Merit Scholars, Intel Science competition winners, and AP scholars. That said, I don't think the school needs to be ranked as highest for a child to succeed--often students flourish in schools where the competition is not quite so cut throat...
