The Massapequa Union Free School District #23

Creating Leaders One Child at a Time

Massapequa, located on the famed south shore of Long Island, NY, approximately 25 miles east of New York City, is one of the largest K-12 school systems in Nassau County. Despite its size, Massapequa remains a close-knit community. Pride runs deep, as generations of residents look to stay in the community where they were raised. A significant number of residents are employed in the public safety, health care, education, finance and public administration fields. Our residents are passionate about their schools, which shows in the support they give each year to our academic, athletic and arts programs.  The district serves a population of approximately 6,500 students and is composed of six elementary schools, one middle school and one high school, which opened in 1955 and has two campuses.
