Answer 1

bellaire. its better, and it has more difficult classes

Answer 2

I started off at Westbury as a freshman in 2004 don't go there. Westbury has a lot of bad things that go on around that campus such as drug dealing witnessed it myself. Westbury is also a dropout factory 40 percent of the incoming freshman don't make it to there senior year. One of my best friends as killed there right after school. Go to Bellaire more diverse better environment and you will get a better education.

Answer 5

when I graduated from westbury in 1976 it was a better school but today Bellaire is a far better school than Westbury so I hate to say iGo to Bellaire for a better education and a better school

Answer 6

hey all i can tell you is westbury is not as bad as the people make it to be. i current go there and there is noting major going on as far as drugs or gangs.of course there are gang members there but even bellaire has gang members too. and the best thing about westbury is U CAN GRADUATE EARLY. they offer what is called a block schedule and that means you take 8 classes per semester so if you dont fail any of your classes you graduate in 3 years. and the other thing is if you try to get a scholarship a bellaire you better work your *** of because of all those asians in there but at westbury you can get a good scholarship for having 3.0 gpa easily

so if you want to

1)graduate early

2)get scholarships

3)and have a better chance to get accepted to colleges

GO TO WESTBURY

Everything that has been  said here about the crime at Westbury and the gangs and drugs pretty much fits with what I know.  You don't want to go there.

BTW School starts AUGUST 25th (MONDAY) so if you "enroll in a couple of weeks" you will be starting late.  I'd call Bellaire TODAY.

Good luck.

Answer 9

I think Bellaire. Just my opinion.

Answer 10

Bellaire, by far!

There are gangs, a few remaining Katrina refugees, and lots of trouble at Westbury.

Bellaire had 2 graduates accepted at Harvard last year and can be very competitive. Quite a few Asian students, very diverse and excellent sports teams.
