Overall, Westbury High School is a great place to be. They have a good handful of acdemic programs and they have a few extracurricular activities as well, including a robotics team which enters various tournaments, building various 'bots and an AV team who helps out when it comes to making smooth-running plays. There is also various music programs and an Art club which I'm personally well-acquainted with, being appointed the student president of the group. Together, all the groups help this school complete various events.
There's two levels to the school, connected by stairs only, however its' fairly acessible and doesn't require much effort to climb them, so even handicapped students shouldn't have much trouble with a bit of help from students or staff.
