Summary

Webster Elementary School is a small school in the Webster, New Hampshire, community, serving 88 students in kindergarten through fifth grade as part of the Merrimack Valley School District. Its 10:1 student-teacher ratio may support personal attention, and the school’s 2025–2026 ranking improved to 113th of 230 New Hampshire schools, around the statewide midpoint. This is a notable recovery from the previous year, although the school has not yet returned to the stronger rankings it recorded between 2015 and 2018.

Current academic results are generally encouraging compared with the district and state. Webster students are proficient at rates of 48% in math, 57% in reading, and 43% in science—above state averages in all three subjects. Science is a particular strength, exceeding the district rate by 14 percentage points. Within the district, Webster currently outperforms Penacook Elementary School and Boscawen Elementary School overall, though Salisbury Elementary School has substantially higher math and reading results. Webster is especially similar to Beaver Meadow School, with nearly identical reading and science performance.

The biggest area for families and school leaders to watch is the gap between strong third-grade results and weaker fifth-grade outcomes. Third graders reached 79% proficiency in math and 71% in reading, while fifth graders reached only 21% in math and 38% in reading. Fifth-grade science was stronger at 43%, above both district and state rates. Results can shift noticeably at a school this small, but the pattern suggests that maintaining progress in upper-elementary math and reading should be a priority. Overall, Webster offers improving, above-average schoolwide performance, favorable staffing, and a close-knit small-school setting, while still working to make recent gains consistent across grades.
