Summary

The Rev. Dr. Ercel F. Webb School is an elementary school located in Jersey City, New Jersey, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 629 students. As part of the Jersey City Public Schools district, the school faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.

The school's academic performance on NJSLA tests is consistently below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 42.7% of 3rd graders, 42% of 4th graders, and 39.5% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the district averages of 46.7%, 49.2%, and 43.5%, respectively. The school's performance in mathematics and science is also particularly low. Additionally, the school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 14.9% to 47.1% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the district average.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Julia A. Barnes School, Joseph H. Brensinger School, and Frank R Conwell School, generally perform better than the Rev. Dr. Ercel F. Webb School on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and better overall rankings. However, these schools also face similar challenges, such as high rates of chronic absenteeism and a high percentage of students from low-income families.
