We moved to the area specifically for this school and have been very satisfied. Only caution is the middle school is starkly different and does not have the same opportunities for advanced learners.

Webster is an incredible school! A 2015 National Blue Rubbon School, it is a family-friendly, supportive environment that teaches academics as well as character and leadership. Webster staff always strive for improvement. The facilities are fantastic - the building opened in 2006, so it was carefully constructed for the modern world -- it accommodates drop-off & pick-up safely and has a separate bus entry/exit as well as a separate walking/biking student entry/exit, has a new playground, a huge gym, and has technological capabilities older schools don't. It is a true neighborhood school, with many families and students walking, biking, scootering & strollering to school in nice weather. The staff is welcoming, friendly, and knows all of the students by name. My kids have felt loved and cared for here. I love spending time at Webster, and parent volunteers/parent visitors are always welcomed with open arms. There is a high degree of parent involvement. Our family has been at Webster since opening day, been through two phenomenol principals, and I honestly can't think of a single thing I dislike about Webster! It is fabulous and I would highly recommend it!

Webster is a great school with lots of character and reponsibilities. My son goes to 1st grade there and I am amazed to see that every teacher in the school know him by his name. Principal also makes sure that she addresses each student by name. We are so impressed, we enrolled our daughter in the same school. The school is good at diversity, has great library, great playground and great teachers.
