Education

A Great School District

The Nassau County School District is at the top of the competition — with the ranking and accolades to prove it. It’s #1 out of the 67 public school districts in the state, and has received an “A” rating numerous times, recognized for their high graduation rates and student achievement scores. Because it serves a more rural and suburban community, it has a close-knit, supportive environment … one where schools foster a sense of belonging among students and staff.

Wildlight Elementary School

Wildlight Elementary is one of our biggest points of pride here. Because it means kids can walk or bike to school (making drop-off and pick-up that much easier for you). And beyond the convenience is the curriculum — one that puts the school in the top 5% in the state (with an “A” rating). Parents appreciate the low teacher-to-student ratio. And kids love the three parks and the outdoor learning center that lets them experience the ‘nature’ part of our town in nature.
