Summary:
The Webster School District in Wisconsin operates three schools: Webster Elementary, Webster High, and Webster Middle. The district serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch across all three schools.
Webster High School stands out as a consistent performer, maintaining a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past two school years. The school boasts an impressive 85.4% four-year graduation rate and a low 2.6% dropout rate, while its students have performed above the state average in several ACT and Forward Exam subject areas. In contrast, Webster Middle School had mixed results, with some grades performing above the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics, while others fell below.
The most notable improvement has been seen at Webster Elementary School, which has moved up in its statewide ranking from 714 out of 1,067 Wisconsin elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 477 out of 1,061 in 2023-2024. The school has outperformed the state average in several academic areas, including 3rd and 4th-grade English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as 4th-grade Science. However, the district as a whole faces challenges related to high chronic absenteeism rates across all three schools, ranging from 15.4% at Webster Middle to 19.2% at Webster Elementary.
