This high-performing school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with a current ranking of 89 out of 383 schools for the 2024-2025 school year.

East Webster Elementary stands out for its exceptional academic performance, consistently outperforming the state and district averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects.

Compared to nearby schools, Ackerman Elementary in the Choctaw County School District also stands out with exceptional academic performance, ranking among the top 5 elementary schools in the state. While East Webster Elementary generally outperforms the surrounding schools, the school may want to focus on addressing its variable chronic absenteeism rates, which have ranged from 17.3% to 28.6% over the past few years, to improve student attendance and engagement.
