Summary

Samuel B. Webb Elementary School is a PK-6 school in Wethersfield, CT, serving 342 students in the Wethersfield School District. The school has earned 3 stars from SchoolDigger and currently ranks 202nd out of 491 Connecticut elementary schools, placing it at the 59th percentile — a notable step above its district's overall ranking. Webb serves a community with moderate poverty levels, with about 25% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and it offers a favorable 13:1 student-to-teacher ratio.

Webb's biggest strengths are its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 3.6% — far below the district average of 6.5% and the state average of 16.4% — and its recent upward momentum. The school jumped from the 45th to 59th percentile in statewide rankings in a single year, the largest gain among Wethersfield elementary schools. Fifth grade is a particular bright spot: in 2025-2026, Webb's 5th graders posted the highest scores in the district, with 76.5% proficient in English language arts and 64.7% proficient in math, both well above district and state averages. This was also true in science, where Webb's 5th graders reached 76.5% proficiency versus the district's 63.7%.

Despite these strengths, Webb shows notable inconsistency across grades and subjects. Fourth-grade ELA proficiency (47.5%) and 6th-grade ELA proficiency (51.1%) lag significantly behind district averages of 62.4% and 66.4%, respectively. The 6th-grade slide is especially pronounced when compared with Highcrest School, where 6th graders post a 77.2% ELA proficiency rate. Math scores have also been volatile from year to year and cohort to cohort, swinging dramatically in both 3rd and 6th grades. While Webb outperforms higher-poverty Hartford-area schools like Naylor/CCSU Leadership Academy and Montessori Magnet at Batchelder School, it still trails district leaders like Highcrest and Alfred W. Hanmer School overall. For parents, Webb offers a warm, engaged school community with strong attendance — but academic consistency across all grade levels remains a work in progress.
