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.
The Massapequa School District envisions a learning community where every student emerges as a competent, educated and well-rounded individual, embodying the highest standards of character, leadership and citizenship.
Our mission is to provide a rigorous education that fosters critical thinking, character, leadership, confidence, and resilience. We aim to develop responsible and respectful individuals who are skilled problem-solvers and engaged citizens. Through strong partnerships with parents and the community, we encourage students to pursue their passions and achieve success in all aspects of life, including college and/or career pathways.
The Profile of a Massapequa Learner and Leader represents our vision to provide a rigorous education that fosters critical thinking, character, leadership, confidence and resilience. As we look ahead, our focus is clear: We will continue to work together building a community of learners and leaders, one child at a time.
