Westhampton Beach Senior High School's strong academic outcomes are further supported by its high 4-year graduation rates, ranging from 84.3% to 94.3% over the past few years, and low dropout rates, ranging from 2.0% to 4.9%.

The board of education and school leadership has done nothing to prepare for actual remote learning during this pandemic. They have let down our children completely. Truly shameful. Close Quote
