Summary:
The Webster Parish school district in Louisiana consists of 14 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a diverse student population with varying socioeconomic backgrounds, as evidenced by the wide range of free and reduced-price lunch rates across the schools.
Among the standout schools in the district, Lakeside Junior-Senior High School consistently ranks as one of the top high schools in the state, with a 4-star rating and strong performance in math and English language arts. Central Elementary School has also shown steady improvement, moving from a 2-star to a 3-star rating, and has proficiency rates above the district and state averages. Additionally, North Webster Upper Elementary School has seen its performance improve, with particularly strong English language arts proficiency rates.
However, the data also reveals significant disparities in performance across the district, with some schools, such as North Webster High School and J.L. Jones Elementary, struggling to meet state standards. Addressing these disparities, as well as the consistently high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, will be crucial priorities for the district moving forward.
