Summary:
The Webster Parish school district in Louisiana is home to two middle schools: Webster Junior High School and North Webster Junior High School. These schools serve students in grades 6-8 and provide a crucial educational foundation for the community.
Based on the available data, North Webster Junior High School appears to be the standout performer, with a higher statewide ranking, better test scores, and a higher 2-star rating from SchoolDigger compared to Webster Junior High School's 1-star rating. North Webster Junior High School consistently outperforms the Webster Parish and Louisiana state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency across all grade levels.
Both schools face similar challenges, such as relatively high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients and concerning chronic absenteeism rates of 24.6%. The dropout rates for both schools are also identical at 3.3%. While the student-teacher ratio is lower at Webster Junior High School, this does not appear to be a significant factor in the performance gap between the two institutions. Overall, the data highlights the need for continued focus on improving academic outcomes, attendance, and student support at both middle schools in the Webster Parish district.
