Summary

Webster Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Syracuse City School District, with an enrollment of 625 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of New York elementary schools over the past several years, receiving a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Webster Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the Syracuse City School District and the state of New York in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 32.26% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA, compared to 54.15% statewide. In math, the proficiency rate for 5th graders was just 14.94%, compared to 54.16% statewide. The school has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 88.96% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.

When comparing Webster Elementary to other schools in the Syracuse City School District, it becomes clear that the academic challenges are not unique to Webster. Several nearby schools, such as Seymour Dual Language Academy and Huntington K-8 School, also rank in the bottom 10% of New York elementary schools and struggle with low proficiency rates. However, there are some signs of improvement over time, as Webster Elementary's ELA proficiency rates for 3rd and 4th graders have increased from the 2021-2022 school year to the 2023-2024 school year.
