Looking for feedback on the following schools

We are very close to decided which house to choose, and only hesitant because of questions about the schools!
We need to choose from:
Ocean Ave Elementary in Northport
Pulsaki Elementary in Northport
Sunquam Elementary in HHH district

I would really appreciate feedback good and bad on these schools, and specifically: class size in K (I only know Ocean is 15-16 kids), whether K is full day, whether or not they are teaching for the tests vs curriculum allowing for enrichment subjects vs strict academics, how they meet needs of advanced students (ie if starting K reading at 1st grade level), climate for inclusion students, policy on twins (in case anyone happens to know!)

Any info would be so helpful as I have so much to research with twins who are very different. I noticed very little school specific info posted, so please send me a private message if you'd prefer not to post your opinion publicly.

Thank you!
Lisa

I believe all of Northport schools have a half day kindergarten. As for teaching to the test, all state schools have to follow the common core curriculum and take the same state exams. And as for the twins, it is the policy in most schools to separate them if there are two or more kindergarten classes unless special circumstances requires them to be together.

You're not going to go wrong with any of the Northport schools.
We are in district and are very happy.
If you want to be close to town, go for Ocean Ave.
If you want to be a bit closer to highways, parkways, etc, choose Pulaski.
I grew up here, moved away after I got married and am so happy to be back.
I'm a Northport graduate too and I dont' think I'd have it any other way.
FM me with any questions.

I have many friends that teach at Pulaski!!!! They love teaching there.

I am a product of the Npt schools. I went to Norwood but there isn't a bad school. Npt only has 1/2 day K and it has always been like that. Not sure that will ever change.
