Westbury High School

"I would give Westbury, Ms. Monahan and the staff 5 stars except, all schools have room for growth and Westbury is still growing. I've had two sons attend the Westbury. Over the years dealing with the various administrators and the evolving teaching staff, I would venture to say that the restoration of Westbury is much appreciated. I take offense that someone would say if your kid is "White and speaks well, don't send them here." My children are BLACK and speak well. What the hell is that supposed to mean? To that idiotic review I respond, if such is your child and they are failing at BELLAIRE or LAMAR (or any other school for that matter), don't rush to enroll them in Westbury right before graduation to get their raggedy class ranking up, thus bumping the kids who have worked hard at WESTBURY to get a decent ranking for college. Don't send your kids here to jump on the award winning dance team. Don't send your no-rhythm having kids to play in the bands (marching, jazz or concert) that the district request for their programs. Don't send your kids here to join the flourishing sports programs (or to play on the new baseball field, on the new tennis courts, or in the new gym(s)). If you are sending your kid to Westbury to take up space and leech off of the good works of the students who are here, then keep them home and home school them - better yet, let the fail at the fancy "better" school in which you had them enrolled. For the students who didn't learn anything and so you've left bad reviews....perhaps you didn't learn anything because you didn't apply yourself. Teachers can only do so much. I had a son graduate in 2012 and have another graduating in 2019 and yes, there are some bad teachers (as at any school) but there are far more great and caring ones than not. I suggest that if you HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED the Rebel/Huskie life, that you keep your comments to yourself."

"Bro this school is actually pretty bad. Please do not bring your son or daughter here. Too many ghetto kids, teachers do not know how to teach, the principle is ehhh, its overall a bad school. Theres only like 3 classes some one could enjoy. May God help this school."

"I like this school I really do, it can be lit sometimes but it can really suck. I’m a sophomore and there can be some really ignorant teachers but I’m not gonna call any names out. I’m a good student I do my work or try my best when I don’t understand. Kids here are somewhat idiots or ignorant. School lunch sucks but it’s kinda decent, the lunch trays suck because you can’t place more then one item or else everything will fall off it. Also when I walk out of school there’s a lot of weed junkies around, they must be really though because they just start smoking right after school but hey The ya re outta school property so the teachers can’t do anything. This school deserves a 7.5/10. Yes I’d recommend coming here it’s super easy to pass."

"This school holds my future no matter how terrible SOME teachers are"

"I was Here from September of 2012 until sometime in march or may of 2013, This school was the worst. It felt more convenient to call it a massive day care center for poorish kids who can't handle society or just can't get a bloody clue. More importantly a lot of people i had encountered​ here were very ignorant. Low test scores soared when I was there. Hell, it was in the news I kid you not. Idk about Now but then, I saw couple pregnant young gals there... I felt sorry for em. Not many decent people here. Teachers, I give them a C for trying but no effort. For a small fee, a B."
