Summary

Webster Micro Society Magnet School serves 626 students in grades PK–8 in Hartford, CT, as part of the Hartford School District. The school stands out for its attendance culture: chronic absenteeism was 21.3% in 2025-26, versus 35.9% for the Hartford district — a gap Webster has maintained for five straight years. About two-thirds of students (66.3%) qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a lower share than most nearby Hartford schools like Global Communications Academy (90.6%) and West Middle School (85.5%), though higher than schools in the neighboring West Hartford School District.

Academically, Webster consistently outperforms its district, especially in English Language Arts. In 2024-25, 8th grade ELA proficiency hit 42.9% versus a district average of 21.9%, and 5th grade ELA reached 36.8% versus 19.9%. Middle school is a particular strength: 6th and 7th grade ELA also topped district norms, and 8th grade science ran about 10 points above the district average for two straight years. Math is more mixed — elementary grades sometimes fall below district averages (5th grade math: 14.8% vs. 17.9% in 2025-26) — but middle-grade math generally flips back above them, with 7th grade math at 23.3% in 2023-24 versus 11.0% district-wide.

Compared with nearby schools, Webster sits in an interesting middle ground. Less than a mile away in West Hartford, Whiting Lane School posted 3rd grade math proficiency of 84.6% in 2025-26 versus Webster's 28.8% — a stark gap reflecting very different demographics and resources. Closer to home, Breakthrough Magnet School North outperforms Webster in early grades (3rd grade math 57.6% vs. 28.8%), but Webster serves middle grades where Breakthrough North does not. With a student-teacher ratio of 14.4, Webster has larger classes than most peers, and its state ranking has slipped from the 27th percentile in 2021-22 to the 13th in 2025-26. Still, Webster remains a stabilizing presence in Hartford — with stronger attendance, middle-grade ELA, and science outcomes than most district peers.
