Webster County High School to me has resonated with the expectations of a small town from West Virginia. You feel cared for from the teachers and receive help with whatever is needed. The worst thing I would say is the lack of connection to the administration decisions which makes us feel like we don't have a say in the rules. Other than that, I have had a good time here I just wish I would've done more extracurriculars but that is fault of my own not the school.

It was ok, there were a lot of options for college course and the teachers are very good at their jobs. however there are a lot of discrimination of the students, lgbtq is not supported and if you are of a different ethnicity, you are cast out

The building design itself is bad in the fact that 7th and 8th graders are constantly around high schoolers, leading to more mischief. Plenty of the staff there have done unethical things yet are not punished or fired because there's no one else to hire. The main persons in charge make it hard to create any positive change for the school, and they're too controlling.

Had to pull child out of school and place in another due to bullying issues and lack of administration support on issues. Other parent had some of same issues but would not support trying to correct.
