The best parts of my experiences is being in small class sizes and the connections you can make with some of the teachers and students. The worst parts are the teachers constantly quitting and how some of the students act. What I would like to see change is some of the teachers, because some don't do their job or are not very good at teaching.

What I like most about Webster County High School is the staff. All the teachers and administrators care about their students, encourage them to do their best, help them do their best, and want to see them achieve their goals. I would like to see the school support every sport, not just the major sports. Some of the less supported sports have some of the better teams.

My experience has been pretty great. This school has allowed me to make many friends that I would never have talked to without it. Going here has shaped me into the person I am today, and I am grateful. I would probably improve a little on the safety and how they run things throughout the school.

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.
