Original Research by School Decision on Webberville High School
Webberville High School is a small, regular public high school serving grades nine through twelve in the village of Webberville, Michigan, within Ingham County. It is part of the Webberville Community Schools district. The enrollment is modest even for a rural high school, with the largest concentrations in the sophomore and junior classes and smaller ninth and senior groups. The student body is nearly entirely white, with only a handful of students from other racial or ethnic backgrounds. About half the students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, which gives a sense of the economic mix in the community.
On academics, the picture is thin. The only state assessment data in the record covers eighth-grade PSAT math and English language arts, and both are suppressed because no students at this school were tested in that grade. That gap reflects the school's grade band rather than a problem with the school itself. Webberville High starts at ninth grade, so eighth-grade testing does not apply here. What is missing is any state testing results for the grades the school actually serves. We looked for eleventh-grade SAT or M-STEP results, or ninth- and tenth-grade PSAT data, and found none in the payload. Without those results, there is no way to characterize how students perform on state assessments. A parent may want to ask the school or district directly for recent SAT, PSAT, and M-STEP results to get a grounded read on academic performance.
The same scarcity extends to other outcome measures. No four-year graduation rate appears in the data, so we cannot say how the school stacks up on that front. No chronic absenteeism rate is reported. No discipline data, course access information, staffing figures, or attendance records were provided. The comparison set among Ingham County's districts lists proficiency, graduation, and absenteeism as metrics, but all three are marked inapplicable for this school because the underlying values are missing. So the school cannot be positioned against its county peers on any of the measures that would normally let a parent compare. We searched for recent district-level changes that might affect families, such as program launches, facility investments, or restructuring, and found nothing that cleared a lasting-impact threshold.
The housing market in the Webberville area offers some concrete context. Home values in the school's zip code sit modestly above the Michigan state benchmark and well below the national figure. The price-to-income ratio is moderate, suggesting that buying a home here is more attainable than in many parts of the country, though current mortgage rates add to monthly costs. Rental data was not available, so renters will need to look elsewhere for local market conditions. The broader economy shows a stable unemployment picture and a national median household income that has been climbing gradually.
Webberville itself sits along Grand River Road, and the school's address on that same road places it near the village's main corridor. The locale brief did not return specific community details, so rather than guess at the character of downtown or local businesses, we will say that information was not available in the data provided.
What a parent is left with is a small, rural high school in a quiet Ingham County village, serving a fairly homogeneous student body with about half qualifying for lunch assistance. The academic and outcome data that would let someone judge performance simply is not in this record. Families considering Webberville High should go directly to the school or district for current test scores, graduation rates, course offerings, and any college or career pathway programs. The data here is too sparse to form a confident position on academic quality, and that gap is worth naming plainly rather than glossing over.
