Webster County Schools

Summary:

The Webster County Schools district in West Virginia consists of 4 schools: 3 elementary schools (Glade Elementary School, Webster Springs Elementary School, and Hacker Valley Elementary School) and 1 high school (Webster County High School).

Among the district's schools, Webster Springs Elementary School stands out with relatively strong performance, ranking 132nd out of 368 West Virginia elementary schools in 2022-2023 and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its test scores in math and English language arts are generally higher than the district and state averages. In contrast, both Glade Elementary School and Webster Springs Elementary School have seen their statewide rankings decline in recent years, suggesting a need to investigate the factors contributing to this trend.

The data also reveals some areas of concern across the district, such as lower-than-average proficiency rates in math and science, particularly in the upper grades. For example, only 13.8% of 11th graders at Webster County High School were proficient in math, compared to 20.3% statewide. Additionally, the small enrollment of 40 students at Hacker Valley Elementary School presents unique challenges, despite its low student-teacher ratio of 6.6.
