Summary

Barbara Webster Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 325 students in the Santa Paula Unified district, a community where the school faces significant economic challenges with over 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school's performance is mixed when compared to others in the area. It ranks in the 31st percentile statewide, placing it in the middle among district schools like McKevett Elementary (55th percentile) and Blanchard Elementary (18th percentile). A notable strength is its success in dramatically reducing chronic student absenteeism, now at 14.5%, which is better than both the district and state averages. However, the school shows a very large and unusual gap in performance between male and female students, and sixth-grade math scores are an extreme area of concern, with only 2.38% of students proficient.

The school spends more per student than several nearby schools in other districts, such as Mesa Elementary and Mupu Elementary, despite their higher academic rankings. This suggests families may want to ask how resources are being used to address core academic challenges, particularly in supporting female students and fixing the severe math deficit in the sixth grade, while also recognizing the school's clear success in improving student attendance.
