Summary:

The city of Mathiston, Mississippi is home to a single elementary school, East Webster Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. This standout institution consistently outperforms the Webster County School District and the state of Mississippi on key academic metrics, making it one of the top-performing elementary schools in the region.

East Webster Elementary School boasts impressive rankings, placing 38th out of 390 Mississippi elementary schools in the 2023-2024 school year and 89th out of 383 in the 2024-2025 school year. The school has also earned 4 or 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger in recent years, indicating its strong overall performance. Academically, East Webster Elementary consistently exceeds the district and state averages on standardized tests in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across multiple grade levels.

While the school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with nearly half of the student body qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, East Webster Elementary has demonstrated its ability to support and educate a diverse student body. The school's student-teacher ratio of 11.6 is lower than the state average, which may contribute to its academic success. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9% in the 2022-2023 school year is an area that could benefit from further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student attendance and learning outcomes.
