Truthfully, all of the elementary schools are great. There’s one middle school and one high school. They’re all high rated but the neighborhood is very kid friendly. There’s a lot of extra help for students who need it, and op classes for gifted students.
I hear you but why are the schools rates lower than Merrick or even East Meadow? That’s what I can’t figure out. There must be a reason? The schools may not be bad but are they less academically rigorous?
I’m from NYC so for me “kids who need help” are automatically a red flag.

Even though schools can be ranked, the difference between them, especially elementary schools, is usually very small. Unless your kids are obvious 1 percenters I wouldn't worry so much about rigor at the elementary level.
Oceanside schools suck. They’re mediocre at best. They had a good run for a few years and they’ve been hanging onto that rep for dear life. Trust me. They suck.
If your kid(s) are fairly smart and studious they will probably do well.
But the same thing could be said for basically any school district for that matter.
Even Hempstead, Roosevelt, Wyandanch, etc, have kids that actually graduate amd make it into college.
Why do you need to buy? Renting is much better option. It's very likely there could be a correction coming, maybe not soon but if you're buying now it will not go up anymore.
There could be a correction coming, there may not. If you really know for sure then you'll be rich.
Rental prices are through the roof as well, by the way.

Unless NY magically starts building hundreds of thousands of units of housing per year, there will be no significant correction. I made a huge mistake not buying when rates were 3%. In NY, it’s almost always better to buy sooner rather than later and let things play out.
Prices have already adjusted 10-15% on LI due to the rates.
Looking for a home up to $850K in Nassau with the most whitest/asian population. Mostly care about schools. Preferably south of the Northern State Parkway although I don't think anything worthwhile north of the parkway at $850K is feasible anyway.
What would be your suggestions?
