LOL you can not be more clueless! You think because they have less kids in their school that somehow makes them worse? If I were betting, I would put them on par with Manhasset and St Anthony's and better than the rest. Even for a C school.

That may be true for some schools with weaker youth programs, but if you have a strong program, most of the development will come in the town training. It is very true in Mt. Sinai's case. It is not a coincidence that Garden City, Manhasset ,Northport, Farmingdale, ward Melville have traditionally great teams. Yes many of the kids play travel and it is important to play at a higher level, against better competition, but the foundation and training starts and continues in the town. Take Shoreham's 5 state titles. Paul Anderson built a great youth program and they had a dynasty. When Pauls kids aged out the youth program wasn't the same and it is showing now, even though a lot of kids play travel.
