GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Good learning experience with knowledgeable teachers who want you to succeed. Many optional electives for whatever one wants to go into such as intro into nursing you can get college credits for that can help with your program in college.

Even though we are a small rural town, a lot of big things come out of Webster County High School. From running on our cross country team and being in FFA to taking AP and dual credit classes, I think our school demonstrates pride. Our motto pride stands for positive respectful individuals that demonstrate excellence.

I love how many opportunities our high school provides for a chance to follow our dreams and our goals in the future. However, one thing that many students, including me, have a problem with is the food. There could definitely be a change there. Other than that, I would absolutely recommend this school to others.

Teachers engage with students to meet learning needs. Quality education in a safe atmosphere. Many opportunities for students to excel in academic endeavors, as well as sports and leadership. Teachers handle situations with professionalism and expect students to be respectful.

I would rate it a 1 out of 10. There's a high amount of bullying, and lack of flexibility for learning.
