Summary

Webster Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 208 students in the San Diego Unified district, notable for its strong and consistent academic improvement in recent years despite serving a community where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

The school is a standout for its academic results, with students performing at or above state averages in English, Math, and Science. This is particularly impressive when compared to other nearby schools with similar student populations, such as Rosa Parks Elementary and Horton Elementary, where Webster's proficiency rates are significantly higher, especially in mathematics. The school has shown a remarkable upward trend, climbing from a 1-star to a 3-star state rating since 2018, and it excels in supporting its students from low-income families.

While Webster's academic growth is a major strength, a key challenge is a high rate of chronic student absenteeism, which is above both district and state averages. The school's smaller size may contribute to its ability to provide more personalized support, and it receives higher per-student funding than many surrounding schools, which appears to be effectively used to support student learning. The school's performance varies by grade, with different grades showing particular strengths in different subjects, indicating targeted instructional approaches.
