Summary

West Babylon Senior High School is a public high school serving 1,255 students in grades 9-12 in West Babylon, New York, which is part of the West Babylon Union Free School District. The school consistently ranks in the top half of New York high schools, with academic performance generally above the state average on Regents exams, particularly in subjects like Common Core Algebra II, Common Core English Language Arts, and U.S. History and Government.

One of the school's key strengths is its performance with certain student subgroups, ranking in the top 30% and top 25% of New York high schools for its African American and Special Education students, respectively. However, the school struggles more with its English Language Learner and Low Socioeconomic Status student populations, ranking in the bottom half of the state. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 84-92% is generally in line with the state average, but its chronic absenteeism rate of 13-34% is higher than the state norm and an area for improvement.

Compared to nearby high schools, West Babylon Senior High School performs on par or slightly better than schools in the Bay Shore, Farmingdale, and Copiague districts, but lags behind the higher-performing West Islip and Babylon districts. Overall, the school is a solid, middle-of-the-pack performer among New York high schools with some notable strengths and areas for improvement.
