Sayville School District (also referred to as Sayville Public Schools or Sayville Union Free School District) is a public school district generally encompassing the hamlets of Sayville and West Sayville, in the Town of Islip, Suffolk County, New York, United States.
The superintendent is Walter F. Schartner.
The total enrollment for the 2007-2008 school year was 3,434 students. A high percentage of graduates goes on to higher education each year, to prestigious universities such as Princeton, Cornell, Brown, Columbia, Yale, Duke, Harvard, MIT, and R.P.I.
In 1888, a notable wooden public school building was constructed on Greene Avenue, which was used by the school system until about 1958. Adelphi University also used the building for a period of time in the early 1960s. In 1964, the building was renovated for school administration use. "Old 88" burned down in a fire in December 1969, and a marker was placed in its memory in 2000.
In 1998, the district was the first on Long Island to approve breathalyzer testing of students.
