Webster Elementary School

Summary:

Webster Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Rushville, Illinois, serving grades 2-4 with a total enrollment of 176 students. The school is part of the Schuyler-Industry CUSD 5 district, which is ranked 705 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Webster Elementary School's academic performance is generally below the state averages, with only 32% of students proficient or better in ELA and 25.6% in Math for all grades in 2023-2024. However, the school's 4th-grade performance is relatively stronger, with 41.7% proficient or better in ELA and 23.3% in Math, compared to the state averages of 37.8% and 28.4%, respectively. The school's performance has been relatively consistent over the past few years, with 2-star ratings from SchoolDigger. Interestingly, female students at Webster Elementary School perform better than male students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and special education students also perform better compared to their peers.

One significant concern at Webster Elementary School is the increasing trend of chronic absenteeism, which has risen from 3.1% in 2019-2020 to 15.4% in 2023-2024. This is a concerning issue, as high rates of absenteeism can negatively impact student learning and academic achievement. Compared to nearby schools, such as Washington Elementary School and V I T Elementary School, Webster Elementary School's performance is generally lower. However, the school's relatively lower student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending may provide opportunities for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes. Addressing the socioeconomic factors and chronic absenteeism issues could be crucial in driving progress at the school.

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.
