the teachers are cool and the lunch is not so bad and every one is happy to be there

The school is alright. Yes, there is problems getting to our lockers. But then again, what do you expect? There IS enough time during locker breaks, however. The school is pretty crowded, the classrooms, not so much. I can't really say anything bad about the school.

The discipline is very severe,far too much yelling from teachers supervising halls and cafeteria. Communication is lacking, mailings are inconsitent, principal never returns calls. Overall I am very unhappy with the building and particularly administration.

This is a great school I feel like my son is getting a great enducation and all of his teachers are wounderful. They have small classes and the staff is really good. They have no tolerance for violence so it is a really great school.

The academics are great. the sports are outstanding. and the administration does a very good job. the best thing about the school would have to be the sports!

My son attended this school. I feel this school is overcrowded. My son always had problems getting into his locker in between classes, plus the school didn't allow much time in between classes. My son had to carry all his books in his backpack all day because of this problem. I feel the overall quality of this school is below average. The building is very old and in need of repair as well.

I've been to 5 different schools in my life, and I have to say that Lindenhurst Middle School is the best school out of them all! They're not too strict but they don't let kids run wild either. They actually care about what students think unlike other schools. Most people get along with each other and the kids don't form their own cliques. I moved to Florida and I miss that school so much and I'd do anything to move back!

About the tests


In 2011-2012 New York used the New York State Assessments to test students in grades 3 through 8 in English language arts and math, and in grades 4 and 8 in science. The results for English language arts and math are displayed on GreatSchools profiles and the science results will be added when they are released in the Fall of 2013. The tests are standards-based, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of New York. The goal is for 90% of students to meet or exceed grade-level standards on the tests.
