Summary

Webster Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 295 students in the Fresno Unified district, operating in a high-need community where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science that are substantially lower than those at nearby schools like Akira Yokomi Elementary and Jefferson Elementary. Its statewide ranking has declined over the past decade, and it struggles with a chronic absenteeism rate higher than the state average. Interestingly, despite having the highest per-student spending among comparable local schools, Webster produces the lowest academic outcomes, suggesting factors beyond funding are at play.

However, the school shows a notable strength in its program for English Language Learners, where it performs significantly better. Performance also varies widely between grade levels, indicating inconsistency. While other schools in the area with similar student demographics, such as Jefferson and Akira Yokomi, achieve stronger results, Webster's trajectory has been downward in recent years, highlighting a need for targeted improvement.
