Webster City Community School District

The Webster City Community School District in Iowa consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from preschool through 12th grade.

Among the district's schools, Webster City Middle School stands out as the highest-performing, ranking 132nd out of 344 Iowa middle schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Northeast Hamilton Elementary School has the lowest statewide ranking (447th out of 576 Iowa elementary schools) but boasts impressive mathematics proficiency, with 85.7% of 4th graders scoring proficient or better in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Across the district, the schools generally perform around the state average on standardized tests, with some grade levels and subjects exceeding the state average and others falling behind. The district also faces challenges, such as a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% and relatively high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 42.31% at Webster City High School to 54.71% at Northeast Hamilton Elementary. These socioeconomic factors may impact academic performance and are areas for the district to address.
