Summary:
Webster, Wisconsin has just one public middle school: Webster Middle, which serves grades 5–8 with 184 students and is part of the Webster School District. The school holds a 2-star rating and sits at the 40th percentile in the state's 2025–2026 ranking (387th of 643 schools), roughly middle-to-lower among Wisconsin middle schools. Its percentile moved from 43 in 2023–2024 down to 35 in 2024–2025 before recovering to 40.
The clearest bright spot this year is English Language Arts. Every ELA grade improved, and the school's ELA average rose to 53.79%, just 0.78 points below the state's 54.57%. Fifth-grade ELA (54.76%) and 6th-grade ELA (58.33%, the school's best ELA result) are both above state averages. Eighth-grade Social Studies also gained 7.12 points to 62.22%, though it remains 2.41 points below the state. Attendance and engagement indicators are mostly favorable: chronic absenteeism is 14.1%, better than the state's 17.3% but higher than the district's 11.6%, and the dropout rate is 0.0% versus the state's 1.1%. The student/teacher ratio is 12.3:1, and 53.26% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, with per-student spending at $15,576.
Mathematics is the main concern. The school's math average dropped from 52.24% to 43.75%, leaving it 9.94 points below the state's 53.69%. Seventh-grade math is the largest gap at 36.17% proficient versus the state's 55.67% (-19.50 points), and 8th-grade math fell from a bright spot (63.27%, above state) to 51.11%, now 2.56 points below state. Eighth-grade ELA (48.89%) and Science (48.89%) also trail state averages of 54.38% and 51.86%. Overall, families should note strong ELA momentum and solid attendance alongside a clear math decline in the upper grades.
