The school has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, indicating strong academic achievement.

Additionally, East Webster High School has an exceptionally high rate of free and reduced lunch recipients, with 100% of students qualifying for this program in the 2022-2023 school year, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the economic challenges faced by its students, East Webster High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, with 15.1 students per teacher in the 2022-2023 school year, which is lower than the ratios of nearby schools like Eupora High School (14.8) and Starkville High School (14.9), potentially indicating more individualized attention for students. This consistent academic performance, despite the high poverty rates, is particularly impressive and may present opportunities for collaboration with neighboring schools to further enhance the educational experiences and outcomes for the students at East Webster High School.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
