Summary

Webster Middle is a grades 6–8 school serving 692 students in Cedarburg, Wisconsin, part of the Cedarburg School District. It is larger than most of the nearby high-performing middle schools in the Milwaukee area, but similar in size to Thomas Jefferson Middle in Port Washington.

By SchoolDigger's rankings, Webster is an elite and steadily improving school. It ranks 10th of 643 Wisconsin middle schools in 2025–2026 (98th percentile, 5 stars), and its district ranks 4th of 432. It has climbed from 62nd of 579 back in 2017–2018 to consistent top-10 placement in recent years. In 2025–2026, proficiency on the Forward Exam averaged about 85.6% across eight tested areas, versus roughly 55.5% statewide — an advantage of about 30 percentage points. Eighth grade math reached 95.12% in 2024–2025 and 87.14% in 2025–2026. Chronic absenteeism was 6.8%, well below the state's 17.3%, and the dropout rate was 0.4% versus 1.1% statewide. Results are strong across many student groups, not just overall: students from low-income families and students in special education both rank in the top 1–2% of the state.

Compared with the similarly sized Thomas Jefferson Middle, Webster's proficiency is far higher in nearly every subject. Its closest academic peers are Bayside Middle, Lake Shore Middle, and Steffen Middle. Webster achieves this with $12,958 per student and a 16.3:1 student-teacher ratio — considerably less than Bayside Middle ($23,034, 10.5:1) or Maple Dale School ($21,519, 9.8:1). Two things to watch: the student-teacher ratio has risen from 14.4 to 16.3 over three reported years, and 8th grade social studies dipped from 91.71% to 86.72%.
