Summary

Westbury High School in Houston, TX, is a large, comprehensive high school serving nearly 2,000 students in grades 9-12 within the Houston Independent School District (Isd), where over 91% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The most defining characteristic of this school is its remarkable turnaround: after years of low performance, Westbury has jumped from the 16th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 49th percentile in 2025-2026—its highest ranking in a decade and a 33-percentile-point gain unmatched by any nearby school.

Westbury now stands out for its exceptional support of specific student groups. It ranks in the 84th percentile statewide for Special Education students, the 77th percentile for English Language Learners, and the 71st percentile for African American students—all dramatically higher than its overall rank. This is a stark contrast to demographically similar peers like Sharpstown High School (24th percentile) and Madison High School (37th percentile), which have remained stagnant. However, Westbury still trails affluent schools like Bellaire High School (3 miles away), where English I and II proficiency rates are nearly double Westbury's. A fascinating "Biology anomaly" saw proficiency soar from 47.69% to 78.12% in one year, suggesting a highly effective curriculum intervention.

Despite these gains, challenges remain. Westbury struggles with its Gifted and Talented population, ranking in the 20th percentile, indicating a need for more enrichment for high-achieving students. The graduation rate has improved to 83%, but the dropout rate of 5.6% is still higher than the district average (3.8%) and far above high-performing peers like Yes Prep - Southwest (0.2%). For parents, Westbury represents a school in dynamic transformation—one that has built strong support systems for vulnerable students but must now sustain momentum in core subjects like English and Algebra I while addressing the needs of its highest achievers.
