Summary:
The city of Webster, Wisconsin is home to a single high school, Webster High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and performance rating over the past few years, dropping from 139th out of 415 Wisconsin high schools in 2022-2023 to 273rd out of 431 in 2024-2025, and its performance rating has decreased from 3 out of 5 SchoolDigger stars to 2 out of 5 stars during that time period.
Academically, Webster High School's proficiency rates in various subject areas, including Forward Exam/Social Studies, ACT/English Language Arts, ACT/Mathematics, and ACT/Science, have been consistently below the state averages. The school's four-year graduation rate of 91.0% for the 2023-2024 school year is slightly above the state average, but its chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% for the same year is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 55.91% in the 2023-2024 school year.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $15,654 for the 2020-2021 school year and a low student-teacher ratio of 10.4 to 1 for the 2023-2024 school year, the data suggests that the school may face challenges in improving student outcomes and overall performance. The Webster School District will need to closely examine the underlying factors contributing to the school's declining performance and address any areas for improvement to ensure that students in the community receive a high-quality education.
