As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

My best friend was bullied here and i did not appreciate it and every time she goes to guidance they tell her its in her head and they don't treat issues like anxiety and bullying correctly. When she talks about being bullied to the school they tell her she's paranoid. U N A C C E P T A B L E. 5 star rated school? Learn how to control your students and create a safer more enjoyable atmosphere. You have a school of bullies and unless you teach students how to act nicer it's all Memorial is ever going to be. I also think there should be a day to bring in dogs. Fix this school. Thank you, Next. Close Quote

I attended New Hyde Park Memorial High School from 2005-2009. Looking back I find the school wasn't well rounded. It has a strong business department, and English department. I remember lots of emphasis being put on writing, reading, and business classes. However, math teachers lacked practical skills. They couldn't motivate students because they didn't relate mathematics to the real world. They were excellent at teaching, being fair, and caring about students. They just didn't motivate students and show how practical math is.

I believe math is a very important subject. Students who excel in mathematics often pursue degrees in science and engineering. Students who enter engineering better off our country's manufacturing industries and introduce new innovative ways of doing things.

If NHP Memorial H.S. Ranks 22nd in NYS then it scares me. In college I've had the opportunity of meeting many kids who took advance calculus courses in college. Why can't NHP Memorial H.S. have more students take higher level math courses? I believe this issue needs to be addressed.

Overall, NHP is a great school. If you want to learn you will! I wish the math department would show students how math is very practical and applicable to real world problems. Maybe if all school did this America would innovate and manufacture more. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
