The Webster County Schools district in West Virginia consists of 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 1 high school. The data analysis reveals a mixed picture, with one elementary school, Webster Springs Elementary School, standing out as the highest-performing school in the district, while the other schools, including the high school, struggle to meet state averages in academic proficiency.

While Webster Springs Elementary School ranks 132 out of 368 West Virginia elementary schools and received a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, the highest among the district's elementary schools, the other schools, such as Glade Elementary School and Hacker Valley Elementary School, have lower proficiency rates.
