About Webster Hill School
Webster Hill School serves 353 students from prekindergarten through fifth grade in West Hartford, Connecticut. At 11.8 students per teacher, classes stay small — a ratio that gives teachers real capacity to work with students individually rather than simply manage a room. The performance data puts Webster Hill in rare company.
It ranks #1 among all 17 public schools in West Hartford and stands at #16 out of 990 public schools statewide, outperforming 98% of Connecticut schools overall. Among elementary schools specifically, it sits at #15 of 595 across the state. The composite score is 9.3 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — anchored by a perfect 10.0 growth score.
That growth mark means students here consistently make stronger year-over-year academic gains than nearly any school in Connecticut, not just top out at a high baseline. The 9.3 academic score confirms both dimensions are strong. For families with elementary-aged children in West Hartford, this is the district's performance leader by a clear margin — and a school whose results hold up against any elementary program in Connecticut.
