W Tresper Clarke High School, Westbury NY

Original Research by School Decision on W Tresper Clarke High School

W Tresper Clarke High School is a standard public high school in Westbury serving grades nine through twelve. It draws from a school community that is diverse and economically mixed. About a quarter of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the enrollment is split relatively evenly among Asian, Hispanic, and white students, with smaller numbers of Black students. The school has an enrollment in the low hundreds.

The school's size and grade configuration place it squarely in the traditional high school track. State testing data for the school was not available, so we cannot report on subject proficiency or how Clarke's students perform on state assessments. Similarly, the school's four-year graduation rate was not provided in the available records. Without those metrics, a parent cannot directly compare Clarke's academic outcomes to other Nassau County high schools or assess whether proficiency is rising or falling. This information gap is significant when evaluating academic quality and progress, and a parent may want to contact the school directly or review the East Meadow Union Free School District's reports to get a fuller picture of student achievement and graduation trends.

The school sits in Westbury, a dense suburban village in Nassau County undergoing active transit-oriented redevelopment around its Long Island Rail Road station. Housing values in the 11590 zip code are in the mid-to-high range for Long Island, and rental rates are correspondingly elevated. The village itself blends residential neighborhoods with small businesses, parks, and a revitalized downtown corridor. An approved capital bond in the East Meadow district has funded security upgrades, new athletic facilities, and arts improvements across the district, including at the high school, where synthetic-turf fields and upgraded football lighting are being installed. The bond will modestly increase property taxes over time, though existing debt scheduled to expire may offset some increases in certain years.

Program details, specific course offerings, and information about staffing or attendance at Clarke were not available in the data provided. The school's website address was also not included, so parents seeking details about AP courses, career pathways, clubs, or other opportunities would need to search independently or contact the district.

Graduation rate (ACGR)

>=99%Cohort of 217 students · Class of 2021

The federal source publishes a banded range instead of an exact rate when the graduating cohort is small enough that an exact number could risk identifying individual students.

How this school compares to all schools in this state

Each dot is one school’s SY 2020-21 graduation rate, binned by integer rate. Taller columns mean more schools at that rate. This school is highlighted.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
