Summary

Webster Hill School is a Pre-K–5 elementary school in West Hartford, CT, serving 332 students and part of the West Hartford School District. The school currently holds a 4-star rating, ranking 145th out of 491 elementary schools statewide (70th percentile). That places it solidly mid-pack among nearby West Hartford elementary schools—behind Morley School (54th), Braeburn School (70th), Whiting Lane School (78th), and Duffy School (83rd)—but ahead of Wolcott School (208th), Smith School (249th), and Charter Oak International Academy (269th). Notably, in 2023–24 Webster Hill was the top-ranked school in this group at 48th statewide, making its recent ranking swings a defining feature.

Webster Hill's clearest strengths are in upper-grade math and science. In 2024–25, 5th-grade math proficiency reached 75%, the highest among all nearby schools, and 5th-grade science (70.8%) also topped district averages. The school has also made real progress on attendance, cutting chronic absenteeism from 22.3% in 2021–22 to 12.6% in 2025–26—better than the statewide average of 16.4%, though still above the district rate of 10.0% and roughly 2–3 times higher than Braeburn (3.8%) and Duffy (4.1%).

The biggest area for improvement is 3rd-grade performance. In 2024–25, just 52.9% of Webster Hill 3rd graders met ELA proficiency targets, well below the district's 66.6%, while Duffy School posted 80% in both 3rd-grade ELA and math that same year. Webster Hill's free/reduced-price lunch rate of 35.2% is higher than Braeburn, Duffy, and Morley, but similar to Whiting Lane (36.4%) and Wolcott (35.6%), and the school outranks several schools with higher poverty rates. The year-to-year volatility in scores points to cohort effects rather than a steady trend, suggesting that continued gains in early elementary instruction and further attendance improvements could help Webster Hill return to the top-tier status it achieved in 2023–24.

Web Hill has been fabulous for my two children. Both my spouse and I have post college education and are very involved with our kids and their school. We love Web Hill and so many of the teachers. Our children are very different from one another, and Web Hill has met each of them "where they are". Great place! Close Quote
