Summary

Daniel Webster Middle is a public school serving 438 students in grades 6-8 within the Los Angeles Unified district, notable for its significant and rapid academic improvement in recent years.

The school's story is one of a remarkable turnaround, climbing from a low statewide ranking just two years ago to now performing in the 42nd percentile, with particularly strong results for its African American students and students in special education. This progress coincides with a better student-to-teacher ratio and a major reduction in chronic absenteeism, though attendance remains a challenge compared to some neighbors. While serving a community with high economic need, the school's per-student spending is substantial and appears to be effectively supporting its upward trajectory, unlike the higher-spending but lower-performing Marina del Rey Middle.

When compared to other schools, Daniel Webster's improvement stands out, though it still trails high-performing area schools like Paul Revere Charter Middle and Lincoln Middle. It also performs below a similar high-poverty school, ICEF Vista Middle Academy, which excels with even lower absenteeism. The data shows that Daniel Webster is on a strong positive path, moving from the bottom toward the middle of the performance range for Los Angeles Unified schools and offering a promising case study in how focused intervention can drive change.
