Summary:
The city of Sarepta, Louisiana has only one public middle school, North Webster Junior High School, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 367 students. While the school has a diverse student population, it consistently underperforms the Webster Parish district and Louisiana state averages in academic proficiency, particularly in mathematics and social studies.
North Webster Junior High School has a high percentage of students (52.59%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among its student population. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's lower academic performance, as research has shown that socioeconomic status can be a strong predictor of educational outcomes. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of 21.3 is slightly higher than the typical recommended ratio, which could also impact the quality of instruction and support provided to students.
Despite the challenges faced by North Webster Junior High School, the data provides an opportunity to identify areas for improvement and implement targeted interventions to support student learning and achievement. Strategies such as professional development for teachers, targeted tutoring or remediation programs, and community partnerships could potentially help address the school's performance gaps and improve outcomes for its students.
