Webster Micro Society Magnet School

Summary:

Webster Micro Society Magnet School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the Hartford School District in Connecticut. The school has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of students from low-income families.

Despite the school's magnet status and additional funding, Webster Micro Society Magnet School consistently underperforms the state and district averages on standardized tests. Only 20.3% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 45.9% statewide and 17.2% in the Hartford School District. The school's math proficiency rates are also low, with only 14.5% of 6th and 8th graders meeting or exceeding standards. The school's performance varies significantly by student subgroup, with its African American students performing relatively well compared to their peers statewide, while its special education and low socioeconomic status students struggle.

When compared to other schools in the Hartford School District, Webster Micro Society Magnet School generally performs better than some of its peers, such as Global Communications Academy and West Middle School, which also struggle with low test scores and low rankings. However, the school lags behind higher-performing magnet schools like Breakthrough Magnet School South and Breakthrough Magnet School North. The school's challenges suggest that factors beyond just funding, such as curriculum, instruction, and school climate, may be contributing to its underperformance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
