Webster Springs Elementary School

Summary:

Webster Springs Elementary School is a public elementary school in Webster Springs, West Virginia that serves 235 students from pre-kindergarten to 6th grade. The school is part of the Webster County Schools district, which is ranked 45 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating.

Webster Springs Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (98.72%) compared to the state average, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio ranging from 10.2 to 10.8 over the past three years. However, the school has a high percentage of students (69.33%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage. In terms of academic performance, the school has shown mixed results, with strong performance in some grade levels and subjects, but struggles in others, particularly in 4th and 6th grade Mathematics. When compared to nearby schools like Glade Elementary and Hacker Valley Elementary, Webster Springs Elementary generally performs on par or slightly better.

Despite the challenges, Webster Springs Elementary's low student-teacher ratio and ability to outperform the district and state averages in certain areas suggest that the school has the potential to improve student outcomes with the right strategies and support. Continued monitoring of the school's performance, particularly across different student subgroups, will be crucial in identifying areas for improvement and implementing targeted interventions.

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.
