Northport is known as a snobby/
preppy town, with nautical themed stores, restaurants, & cafes as it could be described as an upscale sea town. Most families are younger with younger children, going back & fourth in their Range Rovers taking the kids to soccer practice with a boat hitched. A few yacht clubs are in town as well as upscale dining & shopping & a very good/well known public school system. Northport
High School is a very good school with quality education & standards. It is known to be one of the best schools in the area with the
top art program in the state & one of the top schools in the nation. That includes all types of art at the
college level, as well as theatre, & the
music program. The marching band does a show every year competing with all other marching bands on
L.I. & Npt has won so many times consecutively, there is no competition anymore, its just a show with Npt last as the grand finale. Athletic wise, girls
lax is one of the
top teams in the nation with the coach who also started a very famous travel lax team, the Yellow Jackets. Girls on the team go to the national team & play in IVY league/
top D1 teams such as Yale, Princeton, & Florida St.. The girls soccer team is also good, as well as track/cross country, & more recently, field
hockey. NCU & Northwestern have track girls & more D1 and D2
like Siena & Slippery Rock have taken field hockey girls. Even our basketball team has a girl at Delaware. For the boys, the track & cx are also a hit with D1.
