Summary

Webster (Daniel) Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 354 students in San Francisco's Mission District, and it stands out as a school that has shown remarkable, consistent improvement over the last decade.

The school has risen from a low state ranking to now consistently perform in the top 30% of all California elementary schools, with students scoring above both district and state averages in English, Math, and Science. This strong academic performance is notable given that the school has a lower percentage of students from low-income families (about 30%) compared to many neighboring schools. For example, while King (Thomas Starr) Elementary is a higher-performing peer, schools like Bryant Elementary and Chavez (Cesar) Elementary in the same area, which serve much higher-poverty populations, struggle with significantly lower proficiency rates, highlighting that school quality can make a big difference.

Webster excels in teaching English Language Learners and has maintained its progress even through recent challenging years. While the school manages its resources efficiently, spending less per student than some nearby schools, parents should note a dip in 5th-grade math scores and a chronic absenteeism rate that, while better than the San Francisco Unified average, is higher than the state's. Overall, Webster represents a stable and steadily improving choice within the public school system.
