Summary

Webster Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 277 students in the Pasadena Unified district, located in Pasadena, CA, with a current statewide ranking in the 48th percentile, indicating performance near the middle compared to all California schools.

When compared to nearby schools, Webster presents a mixed picture. It performs better than some schools like Madison Elementary but trails significantly behind top performers such as Field (Eugene) Elementary. A major area of concern is chronic absenteeism, with 30.8% of students missing significant school time, a rate much higher than the state average and second-highest among local schools, only behind Pasadena Rosebud Academy. Interestingly, Webster spends more per student than any other school on the list, yet test scores in subjects like math and science remain below district and state averages.

Academic performance at Webster varies widely by grade, with some grades performing well above average while others fall far below, suggesting inconsistency. There is also a notable gender gap in academic effectiveness. The school's ranking has declined over the past decade, even as some neighboring schools like Altadena Elementary have improved. This combination of high spending, significant attendance challenges, and variable academic results makes Webster a school with clear resources but also distinct hurdles to overcome.
