For the second consecutive year, Lynbrook High School was recognized by the New York State Public High School Athletic Association as a Scholar-Athlete School of Excellence. 

To earn this distinction, 75 percent of the school’s varsity teams had to maintain an average GPA greater than or equal to 90 and receive the Scholar-Athlete team award. Lynbrook High School had 25 sports teams reach this achievement during the school year. As a result, the school is among nine Nassau County high schools and 111 high schools from throughout the state to earn the School of Excellence title for the 2017-2018 school year.
