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.

The culture at Webster is VERY clique-like. As a transfer student in middle school, I truly never felt as though I fit in with the school or the town, even though I graduated at the top of my class, was involved in sports, music, and student clubs. The best part of my education was the opportunity to take dual-credit classes through nearby universities. It really gave me a jump-start on my college career and I am currently graduating at semester (early) because of it.

Webster Area High School does not prepare you for college education. The administration is not cooperative what so ever. They let teen violence go with just a slap on the wrist. I would never let my future children attend this school. The help kids get with college scholarships is minimal.

Awful school bullying. A lot of teachers don't care, this school is not good for kids that need help.
