My daughter attended fourth grade at this school and loved it. She said everyone was always nice to her and made her feel at home. We had a birthday party for my daughter and nearly the whole class showed up. It seems that the school is creating a very good community. She really loved her teachers (Joe and Rob) too. As a parent, I liked the family-style lunch dining were students sit a round table with an adult. Close Quote

We love this school! The principal, Ginger, is a positive and thoughtful leader for the school who takes care in knowing each student. All of the staff is great and our daughter enjoys her time there. We feel so lucky to be a part of such a positive, diverse school community in the Northeast Mpls neighborhood. Close Quote

After a difficult year dealing with a messy 504 plan and consistent bullying issues at another school, we made the decision to hold our daughter back a grade. It was the absolute best decision transferring my daughter to Webster! Teachers are thoughtful, curriculum is inclusive, progressive and my child absorbs it so well! We LOVE that the class sizes are smaller. Lunch is 30 minutes & recess is 30 minutes, giving kids time to engage and socialize without being rushed. Really wish the school went up to 6th grade, but we are appreciative of the year we have left. Close Quote
