Summary

Webster School is an elementary school located in Manchester, New Hampshire, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 374 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Hampshire elementary schools over the past several years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period.

Webster School's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates in Mathematics and Reading on the NH SAS assessments that are significantly lower than the state averages, often by 10-20 percentage points. The school's performance also lags behind the Manchester School District's average, which itself is well below the state averages. While the school ranks in the middle for Hispanic students, it ranks in the bottom quarter for female, male, and white students, and in the bottom 20% for special education students. The school's relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 40.8% to 43.7%, may be a contributing factor to its lower academic outcomes.

Interestingly, Webster School's performance is generally lower than the nearby schools in the Manchester School District, such as Bakersville School, Northwest Elementary School, Gossler Park School, and McDonough School, which also have higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students. However, the nearby Smyth Road School, also part of the Manchester School District, performs significantly better than Webster School on academic measures.
