Summary:
The Westbury Union Free School District in New York serves students from 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education, with most schools performing well below state averages on academic measures.
Among the standout schools, Westbury Middle School has the highest state-wide ranking in the district, ranking 1256 out of 1500 New York middle schools, though it is still rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The Drexel Avenue School is the only school in the district rated 2 out of 5 stars and has the highest state-wide ranking among the elementary schools, ranking 1528 out of 2445 New York elementary schools.
The district as a whole struggles with test scores, with most schools performing significantly below the state average on both ELA and Math assessments. Westbury High School has the strongest test scores in the district, with several Regents exam pass rates exceeding the state average. However, the high school also has a lower-than-average four-year graduation rate and a higher-than-average dropout rate. Additionally, the district spends significantly more per student than the state average, but this higher spending does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes.
