Massapequa High School

Massapequa High School is a public high school located in Massapequa, in Nassau County, on Long Island, in New York, United States. It serves students in grades 10 through 12.

History
Massapequa High School's first graduating class, the class of 1956, remained at the elementary school located at Hicksville Road for its freshman year and then spent the next two years at what was to become East Lake Junior High School (now known as East Lake Elementary School). Massapequa High School opened in its own location on Merrick Road in September 1955.

Berner High School opened in 1962 to relieve the growing population of Massapequa High School. In 1987, after a decline in district enrollment, Berner High School closed as a high school and became Berner Middle School, serving 6th–8th grade students in the district.

Massapequa High School underwent an expansion in the northeast corner of the school, with construction of a new wing with eight classrooms completed in September 2007. The school's football and baseball fields, as well as the track, were redone during the spring and summer of 2017; this resulted in the school's tennis courts being relocated towards the south entrance.

As of the 2021–22 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,496 students and 150.7 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 9.9:1. There were 98 students (6.6% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 20 (1.3% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.
