Summary

Webster Elementary School is a Pre-K through 5th grade school in Lewiston, ID, serving 214 students in the Lewiston Independent District. The school has undergone a remarkable transformation, climbing from the 2nd percentile statewide in 2017-18 to the 58th percentile in 2025-26. Today, Webster sits in the middle tier of elementary schools within its district, ranking behind Camelot Elementary School, Orchards Elementary School, Whitman Elementary School, and Centennial Elementary School, but ahead of McSorley Elementary School and McGhee Elementary School. The school serves a high-poverty population, with 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Webster exceeds state averages in both math and reading. In 2025-26, 50% of students were proficient in math (compared to 43.1% statewide) and 57.9% were proficient in English Language Arts (compared to 54% statewide). However, the school trails its district averages in both subjects. The biggest concern is a pronounced 4th-grade weakness—only 37.1% of 4th graders were proficient in math and 41.7% in ELA. By contrast, 5th-grade reading proficiency is a genuine bright spot at 66.7%, exceeding both district and state averages. Webster also has the lowest student-to-teacher ratio among nearby schools at 12.8:1, meaning smaller class sizes and more potential for individualized attention.

The school's most pressing non-academic challenge is chronic absenteeism. At 16.1%, Webster's rate exceeds the district average of 14.9% and the state average of 13.8%, and it's significantly higher than schools like Camelot Elementary School (6.7%) and McSorley Elementary School (6.1%). Poverty rates have also risen sharply, from about 40% two years ago to 50% today. These challenges help explain why Webster hasn't yet reached the level of the district's top performers. Still, given its dramatic improvement, strong 5th-grade scores, and investment in smaller class sizes, Webster is a school making solid progress despite the obstacles it faces.
