Syosset Senior High School Reviews

Great teacher! I am not the best at math and he is very understanding and helps a lot!
Mrs. Brice's English 10H class is one of the easiest english classes in the school at the honors level, but it's kind of a waste of time. She doesn't actually teach anything, rather just give busy work to her students everyday with questions asking us what happened in the chapter of the book that we read the night before. Her class is not rewarding at all, you don't learn anything, and if you're taking AP Lang the next year, you better know how to actually write and interpret English texts or else you'll be screwed. If you plan on just taking Regular English the next year, just do the homework and you'll probably end up with an A+.
I already graduated from Syosset not too long ago but Calabria was by far one of my favorite teachers at Syosset. I had him senior year for Criminal justice I believe to fulfill the electives option for social studies. Honestly, an overall great and funny & lighthearted guy. Super approachable and really knows how to connect with students almost as if he were one himself. All the kids are comfortable around him and jump at the opportunity just to talk to him lol. You can tell he's really respected by everyone and is really genuine. His classes are not difficult at all so you have that going for you. Interesting material being taught and relevant to what is actually happening in the real world. Shows several fun movies that help strengthen the material being learned in class and he also encourages participation from students. Just a really chill teacher who definitely enjoys teaching and looking out for students. Syosset teachers can sometimes be pretty hit or miss but I honestly am glad I got this teacher.
Do not learn how to program anything before his "Intro to Computer Programming " class or you will be completely bored. Class is laid back and you can probably do the homework in class.. Also, the excessive humor from the first few months quickly goes away, so be prepared for that as class becomes more serious.
For the history classes, learn how to write the essays beforehand, they are very hard. For research, take shortcuts. Do not read the whole article, only the abstract, or you will have way too much work. If your hair shows up in the google meet, it is enough participation.
