Is anyone familiar with the schools in Westbury, New York?

Sure, I can provide some information on the high schools in Westbury, New York. The main high school in this area is Westbury High School.

From an academic standpoint, Westbury High School offers a solid curriculum with access to Advanced Placement (AP) courses. These AP courses allow students to potentially earn college credit while still in high school and are useful in demonstrating academic rigor to colleges. Academically, however, there may be variances from student to student, so it's a good idea to talk with the school counselor to ensure a good match for academic goals.

In terms of sports, Westbury High School is known to have various athletic programs including football, soccer, lacrosse, track and field, and more. The teams compete in various local and regional competitions which also serves as a good platform for students with athletic spiking interests.

Aside from sports, extracurricular activities are an important part of the high school experience to consider. Westbury High School offers a range of clubs and organizations that cater to a wide range of interests. This includes academic clubs such as Math Club and Science Olympiad, cultural and diversity clubs, service organizations, and arts-focused offerings such as an Art Club and Drama Club.

It's worth noting that the range and quality of opportunities can change from year to year, though, sometimes depending on the interests and efforts of the students and staff.

That said, if your child or you have specific interests, particularly niche ones, you might want to reach out to the school directly to see if there are existing programs or clubs that would cater to those interests.
