Public High Schools

Choosing a high school for your child is a personal decision and can be very subjective. While some parents may feel high test scores and graduation rates are a top priority, others believe small class sizes and AP/IB participation are a deciding factor.

Our team conducted extensive research using such resources as the New York State Education Department, National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. News & World Report, and incomebyzipcode.com to pull together the criteria that most parents feel is important when choosing a school or school district. We have placed this in an easy-to-follow chart so you, our readers, can review and determine what school is right for your student or see where your school falls compared to others in Westchester.
