Summary

Daniel Webster Elementary is a PK–5 school serving 313 students in Marshfield, a South Shore town whose district, Marshfield, ranks 104th of 351 Massachusetts districts (70th percentile, 4 stars). The school itself ranked 296th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2025–2026 — the 67th percentile, 3 stars — slightly below its district's overall standing.

Math is the school's anchor: its 2025–2026 all-grade math proficiency of 61.07 is above both the district (54.85) and the state (41.11), and within Marshfield only Eames Way School and South River scored higher. English language arts, at 46.56, is only slightly above district and state averages, while science, at 45.00, is just below the district and trails most nearby schools — Gov Edward Winslow, Eames Way, South River, William G Vinal (Norwell), Jenkins Elementary School (Scituate), North Pembroke Elementary (Pembroke), and Alden School (Duxbury); only Hobomock Elementary scored lower. Grade-level results are unusually uneven: 3rd grade ELA (73.33) and math (71.11) are far above district and state, but 5th grade ELA (22.50) is far below both, and 5th grade math (40.00) is below the district. Because science is tested only in grade 5, that weak cohort also drives the all-grade science score.

Among subgroups, special education students are a genuine strength, ranking in the 71st–77th percentile over three years, above the school's overall standing. Low-income students, however, have slid from the 92nd percentile (5 stars) in 2023–2024 to the 62nd percentile (3 stars) in 2025–2026 — still above average, but a trend worth watching. Staffing is relatively generous: the 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio of 11.4 is better than every Marshfield peer, and per-student spending was $15,433 in 2020–2021, below most Marshfield peers. The long view matters too: Daniel Webster was a 5-star, 91st-percentile school in 2016–2017 and 2018–2019, so its current mid-60s percentile profile is a step down — though the 2025–2026 rebound from the 57th to the 67th percentile suggests stabilization.
