Summary

Webster Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades K-5 in the Merrimack Valley School District in Webster, New Hampshire. With a relatively small student population of 88 students, the school has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate over the past several years, currently ranking 139th out of 224 New Hampshire elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year.

One key differentiator for Webster Elementary School is its relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.6 to 11.1 students per teacher over the past three school years. This is lower than nearby schools like Penacook Elementary School (10.4) and Boscawen Elementary School (10.7), suggesting smaller class sizes and potentially more individualized attention for students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better on the New Hampshire Statewide Assessment System (NH SAS), has been mixed compared to the state and district averages, with fluctuations in proficiency rates across different subject areas and grade levels.

When compared to other nearby schools in the Merrimack Valley School District, Webster Elementary School generally performs below the district averages in mathematics and reading proficiency, but performs better in science proficiency. The school's performance has been somewhat inconsistent over the past several years, with its ranking and proficiency rates varying significantly from year to year. While the school faces challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement, its relatively low student-teacher ratio and moderate free and reduced lunch rates suggest that it may have the potential to improve with the right strategies and support.
