Summary:
The Webster County school district in Georgia consists of two schools: Webster County Elementary/Middle School and Webster County High School. Both schools have consistently struggled, ranking in the bottom quartile of their respective school types in Georgia over the past three years.
The elementary/middle school is ranked 912 out of 1,248 Georgia elementary schools, with a 1-star rating, while the high school is ranked 410 out of 458 Georgia high schools, also with a 1-star rating. Both schools have performed well below state averages on standardized tests in core subjects. The district faces significant challenges, with extremely high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at both schools, indicating a high-poverty student population.
Despite the low academic performance, the high school has a positive outlier in its 100% four-year graduation rate. However, the district's funding allocation is uneven, with the elementary/middle school spending significantly more per student than the high school. Addressing the systemic challenges, such as resource distribution and supporting the high-poverty student population, may be necessary to improve student outcomes in the Webster County school district.
