Summary

Samuel B. Webb Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Wethersfield, Connecticut, with 333 students. The school is part of the Wethersfield School District, which is ranked 80 out of 156 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Samuel B. Webb Elementary School has seen a steady decline in chronic absenteeism rates, from 23.7% in 2021-2022 to 17.7% in 2023-2024, its academic performance, as measured by test scores in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics, is generally lower than the Wethersfield School District and Connecticut state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate is 42.5% compared to the district's 53.3% and the state's 46.9%. Similarly, the school's 6th grade Mathematics proficiency rate is 34.2% compared to the district's 57.6% and the state's 42.9%.

The school's proximity to several other elementary schools within the Wethersfield School District, including Charles Wright School, Alfred W. Hanmer School, and Emerson-Williams School, presents an opportunity for collaboration and sharing of best practices. Additionally, the school's relatively high spending per student, at $16,014 in 2018-2019, and its low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.8 to 14.2 over the past few years, suggest that the school may have the resources to provide more individualized attention to students, which could potentially be leveraged to improve academic outcomes.
