Summary:
The Webster County school district in Georgia has two schools: Webster County Elementary/Middle School and Webster County High School. Both schools are performing below the state average on academic measures, with low proficiency rates on the Georgia Milestones assessments.
The elementary/middle school has a 30.4% proficiency rate in 4th grade English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 39.3%. The high school struggles even more, with only 16.7% of students proficient in Algebra I and 6.7% proficient in Biology. Both schools are ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types in the state and have low 1 or 0 out of 5 star ratings from SchoolDigger.
The high poverty levels in both schools, as indicated by the free and reduced-price lunch rates of 100% and 62.12%, suggest that socioeconomic challenges may be impacting student achievement. However, the relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios indicate that resources may not be the primary factor limiting performance. Comprehensive, data-driven improvement strategies may be necessary to address the root causes of the low performance and support student success in the Webster County school district.
