I am actually moving to Dix Hills because I am so unhappy with Saw Mill Road School. The boys jump all over each other and are very physical. The teacher had the nerve to tell me “oh thats just how boys behave.” I taught In woodhaven queens for many years. I NEVER saw kids doing that. Close Quote

All inclusive environment where teachers give 110% of their time and talents. My children attend this school and can't wait to get to school each morning. The principal is always welcoming and in my experience always responsive to parent concerns. I am so glad to live in this school district. Close Quote
