Summary

Webb Elementary School in Ferndale, MI, is a PK-5 school within the Hazel Park School District of the City of, serving 328 students in a predominantly low-income community where over 75% of families qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Webb is the highest-performing school in its district, though it still faces significant academic challenges compared to state averages. In recent years, the school has ranked in the bottom 13th percentile of Michigan elementary schools, which is notably better than its district peers like Hoover Elementary School (8th percentile) and United Oaks Elementary School (10th percentile). One clear strength is English Language Arts—4th-grade reading proficiency reached 26%, which is 10 points above the district average and nearly 16 points higher than Hoover's 4th-grade score. The school also shows notable success with its African American students, ranking in the 37th percentile for this group, a significant improvement from the prior year. However, a stark gender gap exists: the school ranks in the 20th percentile for female students but only the 3rd percentile for male students, indicating boys are struggling considerably more.

Chronic absenteeism has been a major hurdle, though Webb has made dramatic progress—dropping from a staggering 53.5% in 2023-2024 to 30.2% in 2024-2025, now closer to the state average of 27.9%. This improvement is encouraging, though the rate remains higher than at nearby Oakland Elementary School in Royal Oak Schools (22.5%), which ranks in the 83rd percentile with proficiency rates 2-3 times higher. Notably, Webb spends a substantial $21,695 per student—more than Oakland Elementary ($20,151) and far more than Ferndale Upper Elementary Campus ($16,266), which outperforms Webb significantly. This suggests that while resources are available, factors like poverty and attendance play a more decisive role in outcomes. Webb's state ranking has fluctuated—rising from the 9th percentile in 2021-2022 to a peak of 22nd in 2023-2024, then slipping back to 13th—indicating the school may be struggling to sustain its improvement momentum.
