Sewanhaka High School

Does anyone know anything about Sewanhaka High School? Someone I know was asked to attend that school over the neighborhood high school (Memorial High School). They live in New Hyde Park.

I found the following on the internet but am looking for people's opinions.

The Sewanhaka Central High School District was founded in 1926 as a "Central High School" to serve the then sparsely populated communities that made up part of Nassau County. By the late 1950's, the post war baby boom had changed the single high school into a Central High School District with five buildings, serving students in grades 7 through 12. Located in the western portion of Nassau County, bordering the New York City borough of Queens, the District is the residence of roughly 135,000 people in four local communities: Floral Park/Bellerose, New Hyde Park/Garden City Park, Franklin Square and Elmont. Each community supports a component elementary district and sends two trustees to the Sewanhaka Board of Education. The five district high schools are home to over 8,600 students and 700 professional staff. Though the income range is wide, the people are primarily homeowners and taxpayers and share a fierce pride in the quality of their individual schools.

Thanks much!

Re: Sewanhaka High School

I would rather go to NHP Memorial.
I went to FP Memorial and knew people from both schools, and IMO NHP was nicer.

Re: Sewanhaka High School

We hold SAT classes at 4 of the 5 Sewanhaka district schools.

NHP is defintely the higher end one as far as income levels go. Sewanhaka is a good school, but defintely lower incomes there. It is a huge school, 3 floors. The students are really good kids.

Elmont, Floral Park, and Carey (Franklin Square) are the other schools in the district.
