After years on the state's improvement list, two Hempstead School District schools are now in academic good-standing, according to administrators. Graduation rates, once below 40%, are now at 86%. "Today we announce that Hempstead High School and Alverta B. Gray Schultz Middle School have been removed from the NYS Ed list of underperforming schools," said Superintendent Regina Armstrong. For decades, the district suffered unstable leadership plagued by political battles for control over the school board, including administrative staff.
