^^Im not here to get in a Moderator cut: language removed
match about "my school is better than your school". I just find it funny that someone from Levittown looks down on N. Babylon schools. Thats all. Everyone has their own opinion!

Agreed, I had never seen this type of school snobbery until moving to LI, it starts at the boutique schools looking down on blue collar schools and filters down. Middle of the pack schools look down on lower testing schools, lower testing schools look down on the few schools that actually stink here on the island. It's comical.

This is what your going by? I wouldn't use this to make a final decision that's for sure.

Well, it's a given it's been at the bottom as far as test scores for a while. My sister's s/o went to NB, and says it really wasn't too nice going there.
