The plane had capacity for seven people but it is believed that just three people were on board when it went down.
Most of the children had already been dismissed, but the superintendent told ABC News he will keep the remaining students at South Woods Middle School, Berry Hill Elementary and Syosset High School in their respective buildings for the time being.
CBS is reporting three people were on the plane and at least one of them is dead from the crash.
The Beechcraft 35 aircraft crashed on the street at 192 Cold Spring Rd. around 3:40 p.m., according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
A Nassau County Police Department spokeswoman said debris from the crash spread over at least two locations. Their conditions were not immediately known.
The plane was heading to Robertson Field in Plainville, Connecticut from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
The FAA says it is investigating and the National Transportation Safety Board will attempt to determine what caused the crash.
