Education
School districts
The Incorporated Village of Woodsburgh is located within the boundaries of (and is thus served by) the Hewlett-Woodmere Union Free School District and the Lawrence Union Free School District; geographically, the total area covered by each district within the village is roughly even.[9][10] As such, children who reside within Woodsburgh and attend public schools go to school in one of these two districts, depending on where they reside within the village.[9][10]
Library districts
Woodsburgh is located within the boundaries of (and is thus served by) the Peninsula Library District and the Hewlett-Woodmere Library District.[9] These two districts serve the areas of the village located within the Lawrence Union Free School District and the Hewlett-Woodmere Union Free School District, respectively; the boundaries of these two districts roughly correspond with those of the two school districts within Woodsburgh.[9]

But the area also includes some unincorporated communities and two tiny villages, Hewlett Bay Park and Woodsburgh, that are not added to the final total."
