Summary:
The Webster County School District in Mississippi operates four schools: two elementary schools (East Webster Elementary and Eupora Elementary) and two high schools (East Webster High School and Eupora High School). The district appears to be performing well overall, with all four schools receiving 4- or 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger.
East Webster Elementary stands out as a top-performing school, consistently ranking among the best in the state with a 5-star rating in 2023-2024 and a 4-star rating in other years. Its test scores are generally higher than the district and state averages, particularly in math and science. In contrast, Eupora High School has more mixed results, with some strong performances but also areas where it lags behind the district and state.
The data also reveals some interesting trends across the district. Both high schools have a 4-year graduation rate of 89.4%, which is higher than the state average. However, the elementary schools have higher free/reduced lunch rates compared to the high schools, suggesting the district serves a population with significant economic challenges. Additionally, chronic absenteeism rates are high across all schools, ranging from 23.9% to 24.9%, which is an area the district should address to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
