Middle Schools in Webster

The Webster Middle School is the sole middle school serving the Webster community in Massachusetts. This public school educates students in grades 5-8, with a total enrollment of 592 students.

The Webster Middle School is performing significantly below the state averages across all academic subjects and grade levels on the MCAS Next Generation assessments. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 15.69% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 41.53%. In mathematics, the school's proficiency rate was 17.49%, compared to the state average of 40.74%. The school's science and civics proficiency rates were also well below the state averages. With a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and a ranking of 412 out of 484 Massachusetts middle schools, the Webster Middle School appears to be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.

While the reasons for the school's poor performance are not entirely clear from the available data, some potential factors may include socioeconomic challenges in the Webster community, as indicated by the school's higher-than-average per-student spending, as well as potential staffing or resource issues, as suggested by the slightly higher student-teacher ratio. Further analysis and collaboration with school and district leaders would be necessary to develop a comprehensive plan for addressing the school's challenges and improving student outcomes.
