Summary:

The city of Westbury, New York is home to 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The school districts in the area, Westbury Union Free School District and East Meadow Union Free School District, vary significantly in their performance, with the East Meadow district consistently outperforming the Westbury district on key metrics.

The standout schools in the area are Bowling Green School and W Tresper Clarke High School, both part of the East Meadow district. These schools excel in state assessments, Regents exams, graduation rates, and have lower free/reduced lunch rates compared to the Westbury schools. In contrast, the Westbury schools generally underperform the state average on English Language Arts and Math assessments, with proficiency rates often 10-20 percentage points below the state.

The data also reveals that the East Meadow schools have lower spending per student, around $30,892 to $30,857, while the Westbury schools tend to have higher spending per student, ranging from $37,928 to $43,038. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as district-level leadership, policies, and resource allocation, may be contributing to the stark contrast in academic performance between the two school districts.
