Elementary Schools in Webster County

There is only one elementary school located in Webster County, Georgia - Webster County Elementary/Middle School. The school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade and faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.

Webster County Elementary/Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools, with proficiency rates on the Milestones Assessment that are generally below the state average across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranged from 20% to 31.8%, compared to the state average of 39.3% to 43%. In mathematics, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 13.3% to 54.5%, with the 8th grade being the only grade above the state average of 47%. The school's performance in science and social studies is also significantly below the state averages.

Despite the school's high per-student spending of $14,291 in the 2018-2019 school year, which is higher than the state average, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.3 to 1 in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's academic performance remains significantly below the state's. This suggests that factors beyond class size and funding may be contributing to the school's underperformance, and targeted interventions and support may be necessary to address the root causes of the school's challenges.
