Summary:

Webster Elementary has shown mixed academic performance in recent years, with proficiency rates in the 3rd and 4th grade Forward Exams fluctuating between 28-60% in English Language Arts and 29-65% in Mathematics. The school performs particularly well in serving its special education and low socioeconomic status (SES) student populations, ranking in the top 25% and top 18% of Wisconsin elementary schools, respectively, in these subgroups. However, the school's performance for its white student subgroup is relatively weaker, ranking in the bottom 25% of Wisconsin elementary schools. Additionally, Webster Elementary has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.4% in 2019-2020 to 19.2% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average.

While Webster Elementary performs better than the nearby Siren Elementary in academic measures, it lags behind the stronger-performing Grantsburg Elementary and Frederic Elementary in several key areas, such as academic proficiency and chronic absenteeism. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Webster Elementary, ranging from 60-65% in recent years, also suggests that the school may face additional challenges in supporting its student population.

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.
