During times in which I was stressed and incoherent, they always calmed me down and helped me with what I needed help with.
7/8/2023
Westbury high school is not a good school at all. The adults barely help you to learn, and the school is very unsafe with lots of weapons being brought into the school.
6/3/2022
There are a lot of mean people. The teachers are good, but could be more respectful. I wish people would treat others with respect.
