Webster City Middle School generally performs above the state average in ISASP (Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress) test scores across grades and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the school had 80.5% of 7th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 74.9%. In Mathematics, the school had 81.5% of 6th graders proficient or better, compared to the state average of 71.8%. However, the school has seen a higher-than-desired rate of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 21.6% to 24.8% in recent years, which is an area the school is working to improve.
