Summary:

Webster Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades K-4 in Plymouth, Indiana, part of the Plymouth Community School Corporation district. With a student population of around 400, the school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past decade, currently ranking 302 out of 1,010 Indiana elementary schools.

Webster Elementary outperforms the overall Plymouth Community School Corporation on academic measures, with 47.69% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 59.23% proficient or better in Math, compared to district averages of 39.09% and 39.51% respectively. The school also has lower chronic absenteeism rates than nearby Jefferson Elementary and Menominee Elementary schools. However, the nearby Walkerton Elementary School, which is part of the John Glenn School Corporation, has significantly higher proficiency rates across all grade levels and subject areas.

With a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (61.24%), Webster Elementary serves a more economically disadvantaged community. The school's increased per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16.9 may be contributing factors to its academic success. Overall, Webster Elementary appears to be a solid performer within its district, with room for continued growth and improvement, particularly in comparison to the top-performing schools in the region.

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.
