Webster High

Webster High is a 9–12 public high school in Webster, Wisconsin, serving 186 students as part of the Webster School District, and it is the smallest high school among its nearby comparison schools. In 2025–26 it ranked 222nd of 533 Wisconsin high schools (58th percentile, 3 stars), noticeably stronger than its district's overall 39th-percentile, 2-star rating. That places it above Grantsburg High and far above Siren High, though behind Frederic 6-12 School at the 89th percentile with 4 stars. One caveat: the school's rank has moved around a lot, from 67th percentile in 2022–23 down to 37th in 2024–25 and back up to 58th in 2025–26.

Academically, English language arts is the clearest strength: 50.00% proficiency in 2025–26, above the state's 48.47% and the highest among the four nearby schools. Science (47.22%) and social studies (52.94%) also beat state averages. Math is the gap — 38.89% proficiency, below the state's 42.93% and behind both Grantsburg and Frederic, though ahead of Siren. Outcomes look strong overall: a 97.4% graduation rate, a 0.0% dropout rate, and chronic absenteeism down to 18.5% from over 30% in 2020–21, though still slightly above the state's 17.3%.

Webster High serves the highest-poverty population among the nearby schools (51.08% free/reduced lunch), yet it has the smallest classes (10.1 students per teacher) and near-highest per-student spending ($20,862). Results by student group are uneven: low-income students rank 92nd percentile (5 stars) and special education students 81st percentile (4 stars), while female students rank 39th percentile after a much higher placement the prior year. With only 186 students, year-to-year swings in scores and rankings should be expected.
