My son just completed 6th grade and, as he is an artist, is learning so much from, not only his art and drama classes, but from the after school conservatory. He is taking two fine art/drawing classes, stop motion animation. As I have no artistic talent, he is getting much needed direction, support, and encouragement. In addition, he is getting strong core curriculum instruction. The conservatory, along with the Capturing Kids Heart program, have created a vibrant, kind, calm, and enriching environment for students to learn.A new principal was placed this year and has acclimated easily and taken the helm. I look forward to her increased attention on academics and insuring that students are being fully challenged academically as they are artistically.

The librarian did not help me with my chromebook

Both of my kids attend Webster Elementary School, and I’d like to share my thoughts.First, I really appreciate the strong sense of community at this school. The families and staff create a welcoming and supportive environment that makes it feel like a safe place for children to grow.However, when it comes to academics, I believe there is significant room for improvement. The school falls short in terms of providing a solid educational foundation. I’ve noticed a lack of challenging material, minimal homework assignments, and not enough focus on deeper learning. As parents, we expect schools to prepare our kids for future academic success, and unfortunately, I feel Webster isn’t meeting those expectations.If the school could prioritize stronger academics and push for higher standards, it would truly benefit the students.
