Summary:
Webster, New Hampshire, has one elementary school, Webster Elementary School, serving kindergarten through Grade 5. The school enrolls 88 students and is part of the Merrimack Valley School District. Its 10:1 student-teacher ratio may support individualized attention, although it does not necessarily represent average classroom size. Because the school is small, results for individual grades can change noticeably from year to year based on the performance of a relatively small number of students.
In 2025–2026, Webster Elementary School performed above both the district and New Hampshire averages in all-grades mathematics, reading, and science. Proficiency was 48% in mathematics, 57% in reading, and 43% in science. Science was a particular strength, exceeding the Merrimack Valley School District by 14 percentage points. Mathematics also improved substantially, rising from 33% the previous year to 48%, while reading increased from 53% to 57%. The school’s strongest grade was Grade 3, where 79% of students were proficient in mathematics and 71% in reading; Grade 4 reading was also strong at 60%.
The main area for parents to watch is Grade 5. Only 21% of Grade 5 students were proficient in mathematics and 38% in reading, both below district and state results. By contrast, Grade 5 science proficiency was 43%, above both comparison groups, suggesting that the challenges are concentrated in mathematics and reading rather than across every subject. The school’s reported ranking also improved from the 38th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 51st percentile in 2025–2026, although other ranking information is inconsistent and should be interpreted cautiously. Overall, Webster Elementary School shows improving, generally above-average schoolwide performance, with the greatest need for focused Grade 5 literacy and mathematics support.
