Summary:
The city of Upperglade, West Virginia has only one public high school, Webster County High School, which serves grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 520 students. The school is part of the Webster County Schools district, which is ranked 46 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While Webster County High School has a strong 92.5% four-year graduation rate, its academic performance is generally below the state averages, with some notable exceptions. The school's 7th and 8th grade English language arts proficiency rates are higher than the state averages, indicating potential strengths in this subject area. However, the school's mathematics proficiency rates are consistently lower than the state averages, suggesting an area of concern that may need to be addressed.
The school's spending per student of $11,627 is above the state average, but this higher investment does not seem to be translating into significantly better academic outcomes. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, dropping from 66th out of 112 high schools in 2022-2023 to 85th out of 112 in 2023-2024, before improving slightly to 69th out of 111 in 2024-2025, indicating a concerning trend of declining performance compared to other high schools in the state.
