GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

West Babylon senior High School has showed me a lot over the past four years i have had great teachers and coaches that have made me ready for college the best things about the teachers are that most of them really care not just about their class but their students West babylon sports has shown me how to be man and deal with my problems and how to use things i've learned in sports and use them in the real world these where not just coaches but life role models but to every good things there are some bad during my freshman year we where still in virtual learning this made high school a lot harder for me my sophomore year it was like being a freshmen twice

I would like to see more diversity. I understand that the neighborhood is not diverse but some more content that outside of the majority race.
