North Webster Junior High School's statewide ranking has been declining over the past three school years, from 337 out of 465 Louisiana middle schools in 2022-2023 to 276 out of 447 in 2024-2025, suggesting its performance may be declining relative to other middle schools in the state. The school's proficiency rates in LEAP Mathematics and English Language Arts are generally lower than the state averages, but higher than the district averages. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6% in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating a significant portion of the student population is missing a substantial amount of instructional time.
The school's high free and reduced lunch rate of 61.89% in the 2023-2024 school year suggests the student population faces significant economic challenges, which may contribute to the lower academic performance and higher absenteeism rates. While North Webster Junior High School is performing better than other schools within the Webster Parish district, it still has room for improvement to reach the state-level proficiency standards.
