WEBB CITY R-VII
The Webb City School District was established in 1877 to serve the students of Webb City. Prior to the establishment of the Webb City Reorganized School District in 1968, area youth who lived outside the Webb City School District were educated in numerous one room rural school districts and in high school districts in incorporated communities nearby. Over the years, consolidation and reorganization plans were initiated with the goal of providing better quality educational programs in a more efficient manner. In September, 1968, final reorganization took place when the Carterville School District voted, as had Alba in 1967, to become a part of the Jasper County Reorganized School District R-VII, to be known and referred to as the Webb City R-7 School District. Below is a listing of the individual school districts that once operated within what is now the Webb City R-7 School District
