All three of Westhampton Beach School District’s schools earned impressive Best School rankings by U.S. News & World Report for the 2023-2024 school year.

Westhampton Beach High School earned its title by ranking in the top 40% of nearly 25,000 public high schools that were classified based on their performance on state assessments and how well they prepare students for college.

Additionally, the district’s middle and elementary schools earned the distinction based on exemplary performance in reading and math.

“We are pleased that all of our schools received Best School rankings,” said Superintendent of Schools Carolyn Probst, “and we will continue to strive for excellence in the education provided to the students of Westhampton Beach.”

Westhampton Beach Elementary School students are engaged in a schoolwide art project as part of Guild Hall’s Student Art Festival and in-school artist-in-residence program.

As part of the initiative, the students have been paired with artist-in-residence Laurie Lambrecht to bring to life a project that is inspired by Lambrecht’s studio practice as a photographer, fiber and installation artist, as well as by this year's Student Art Festival topic of “Eco vs. Ego.”

For the project, students will work with Lambrecht to construct the frame and walls of a small house and create small weavings, prints and sit-upons (cushions). For the walls, students are learning to “paint” with colored yarn and wrap it around driftwood that Lambrecht collected from beaches along the East End. The driftwood pieces will become the walls to the house.

The completed project will be displayed at the museum from Jan. 18 to Feb. 24 along with projects developed by other East End schools.
