GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My favorite thing about my school experience is the classes. I enjoy most of the curriculum that I am learning and most of the teachers are pretty easy to get along with. The best part about my school is the music department. I enjoy communicating with the music department teachers and the music concerts are very enjoyable. The worst part is the strictness, I feel like they can be unnecessarily strict and it takes away from the high school experience.

Has a Westbury High School Student, I had a good experience. They have amazing staff at the school, they will help you with anything that you may need, The support system is amazing. They have people to help you if they're anything that you may need help with. They have a health center inside the school which is very reliable and amazing for the student to use and it's free of charge . It's a really diverse school. A lot of different activities to do and you're going to meet a lot of different people. Overall it's a good school.

Two of my three children are graduates of the high school. So many resources were available to them as well as moral support. The teachers, coaches and advisers were all very caring.

This school cultivates leaders and the teachers (many from the town or nearby) have deep rooted concern and interest in the students potential and ultimately, their success. It is proof that the school raises students to be leaders and concerned community members because throughout the community the...
