Summary:
The 71071 zip code is home to a single public middle school, North Webster Junior High School, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 367 students.

Additionally, the school faces socioeconomic challenges, with over 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
North Webster Junior High School's proficiency rates on the LEAP tests show a mixed picture. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's English Language Arts proficiency rate of 63% was higher than the Webster Parish district average of 57% but still below the state average of 69%. However, the school's mathematics proficiency rate of 51% was lower than both the district average of 53% and the state average of 59%. This decline in mathematics performance from the previous year is a concern that the school and district should address.
Despite the school's challenges, there are some bright spots. North Webster Junior High School's English Language Arts proficiency is stronger than its mathematics performance, suggesting the school may be doing a better job of supporting students in that subject area. Additionally, while the school's proficiency rates are below the state average in some areas, they are generally higher than the district average, indicating there may be room for improvement with the right interventions and support.
