About Merrick
Merrick’s best streets run south of Merrick Road, where the canal grid opens into Merrick Bay and most back yards end at a bulkhead. Inland, Merrick Gables holds the older and more architecturally settled blocks. The hamlet’s landmark is an unlikely one: Norman J. Levy Park & Preserve, a capped landfill turned 52-acre park whose 155-foot summit takes in Jones Beach, the bay, and the Manhattan skyline in a single sightline — a skyline the Babylon Branch reaches in about forty minutes, the shortest ride of the South Shore hamlets. Merrick is governed entirely from Hempstead Town Hall and split between two elementary districts that meet again in high school.

- 4-Year Graduation
- 96%
This graduation rate is reported under Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District, not Merrick Union Free School District. Merrick Union Free School District serves grades K-6 only. Its students matriculate to Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District for grades 7-12, so this is that combined district's rate, not a Merrick UFSD rate on its own.
Merrick is split between two elementary districts — Merrick UFSD and North Merrick UFSD, each with its own tax rate — that both feed the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District for grades 7-12.
Per-pupil expenditure is not published in a form we can verify, so we do not show a figure for it.

Getting to Merrick
- LIRR
- Babylon Branch from Merrick — about 40 to 43 minutes to Penn Station, with some peak trains faster on fewer stops.
- By Car
- The Southern State west to the Belt or Cross Island, roughly 25 to 30 miles to Midtown — 45 to 70 minutes or more depending on the hour, since the Southern State has no river crossing of its own.
