Summary

Webster Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Lewiston, Idaho, serving 229 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Lewiston Independent School District, which is ranked 22 out of 96 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Webster Elementary has some areas of strength, it also faces several challenges. The school has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the district and state averages, ranging from 14.6% to 18.0% in recent years. Academically, Webster's math and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates are generally lower than the district and state averages, with 55% proficient or better in math and 56.8% proficient or better in ELA in 2024-2025. However, the school's performance varies significantly by grade level, with 5th-grade ELA proficiency at 72.2% (higher than the district and state) but 3rd-grade ELA proficiency at only 45.7% (lower than the district and state).

When compared to other nearby elementary schools in the Lewiston Independent District, Webster stands out as having lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates. For example, Camelot Elementary and Orchards Elementary both outperform Webster on math and ELA proficiency, with Camelot in particular standing out as a high-performing school. The combination of higher free and reduced lunch rates, lower test scores, and higher chronic absenteeism at Webster suggests that the school may be facing challenges in providing equitable educational opportunities for its students.
