School Overview
The MHS Ames Campus, located at 198 Baltimore Avenue in Massapequa, New York, serves as an extension of the Massapequa High School district. It primarily functions as a specialized facility designed to support the educational needs of ninth-grade students. By housing the freshman class in a dedicated environment, the campus aims to provide a smoother, more structured transition from middle school to the high-stakes environment of a large suburban high school.

The curriculum at the Ames Campus aligns with the broader academic standards of the Massapequa School District, focusing on core subjects while fostering a community-oriented atmosphere. Because the campus is smaller than the main high school building, it allows for a more personalized approach to instruction and student development. This setting enables faculty to better monitor student progress, offer academic support, and cultivate a sense of belonging for students as they begin their high school careers.
