Webster Middle

Summary:

Webster Middle School is a public middle school in Webster, Wisconsin, serving 189 students in grades 5-8. The school is part of the Webster School District, which is ranked 248 out of 428 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Webster Middle School has maintained a 0% dropout rate, it has consistently underperformed the state average in proficiency rates for the Forward Exam in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. Compared to the nearby Grantsburg Middle School, Webster Middle School generally underperforms, with Grantsburg Middle outperforming Webster in most subject areas and grade levels. However, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Native American students performing exceptionally well and White students, as well as students with special education needs and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, performing below average.

Another area of concern for Webster Middle School is its high chronic absenteeism rates, which have remained above 15% for the past several years. On a positive note, the school has seen an increase in per-student spending, from $10,510 in 2018-2019 to $13,538 in 2020-2021, which is higher than the nearby Grantsburg Middle School's per-student spending of $10,318 in 2020-2021. This increased funding and resources could be leveraged to support student learning and address the school's areas of concern, such as the achievement gaps and chronic absenteeism.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
