Webster School

Summary:

The Webster School is an elementary school located in Everett, MA that serves students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school has seen a significant shift in its student population in recent years, with the Hispanic student population increasing from 51.87% in 2020-2021 to 64.74% in 2022-2023.

Despite the district's overall low ranking, the Webster School's academic performance is generally higher than the Everett district average, though still lower than the state average. In 2023-2024, 27.74% of Webster students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 17.12% in Everett and 39.17% statewide. In Math, 29.03% of Webster students were proficient or better, compared to 19.33% in Everett and 40.91% statewide. Interestingly, the school's Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students consistently outperform their peers in the district and state on the MCAS, while the school's White students and students with disabilities have struggled in recent years.

Another notable aspect of the Webster School is its relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 6.8 to 9.5 students per teacher over the past three school years, significantly lower than the nearby Parlin School (14.9 students per teacher) and the Everett district average. This suggests the school may be effectively utilizing its resources to support student learning, though further investigation into the school's funding and resource allocation could provide additional insights.

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.
