Experience with Amityville Schools?
Hello,
I have been renting in the Village of Amityville for several years. My wife and I have had an extremely positive experience. We have met many very nice folks and we frequently patronize a lot of the businesses downtown. We have found it to be very safe and we have dealt with the police for a non-emergency and they were very responsive and friendly. We are thinking of buying a home in the Village and I am looking to get some input on folks' personal experience with the school district.
I added the above background to basically illustrate, despite what others might say online, we have found the Village to be very pleasant and safe. I am not primarily worried about safety but academics and opportunities. We currently do not have children but we would like to and I'm thinking about the long term in context of buying a home.
I understand the schools here have a relatively low formal ranking and have faced financial challenges in recent years.
If anyone has attended or sent their children to school here in recent years, I would love to hear what you thought of the experience and how you feel the schools are trending right now.
There are some beautiful homes here and we love the relatively high walkability of the Village compared to the rest of Long Island. The schools are really my only major hang up about potentially living here long term.
Thank you!
