I looked at the example posted in the documentation that goes something like
this:
#lang racket
(require web-server/servlet
web-server/servlet-env
web-server/templates)
(define (start req)
(response/xexpr
`(html (head (title "Hello world!"))
(body "Hey out there!"))))
(serve/servlet start
;;#:port 80
;;#:listen-ip #f
;;#:servlet-path "/test"
#:extra-files-paths
(list
(build-path
"C:/Users/howboutno5/Documents/Summer/test/htdocs/style.css")))
-------------------------------------------
However the style sheet does not appear to be loading at all. The directory
that the style sheet is in, is one below the location of the .rkt file if that
makes any difference.

You should look at the #:extra-files-paths argument to serve/servlet
to specify where to find static files.
