Schlegel Road Elementary School, Webster NY

Original Research by School Decision on Schlegel Road Elementary School

Schlegel Road Elementary is a mid-sized school serving early grades in Webster, a suburban town east of Rochester. The school enrolls students from pre-K through fifth grade, with a population drawn from neighborhoods across the broader Webster area, which has seen substantial residential and commercial development tied to major employers like Xerox and newer investments such as a significant dairy facility.

About one-third of the school's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The student body is predominantly white, with smaller shares of Hispanic, Asian, Black, and multiracial students. Specific data on students with individualized education plans or English learners was not available. The school is part of Webster Central School District, which recently completed a voter-approved capital improvement program affecting all 11 district schools, including roof work and parking lot renovations at several locations and an expansion of the special education program at another building. The district has also adopted a structured literacy curriculum for students with dyslexia and learning disabilities.

Performance on state assessments shows a mixed picture. In mathematics, students in grades three through five achieve proficiency rates in the low to mid-range, with third grade performing somewhat lower and fifth grade slightly higher. Writing and reading proficiency on the English Language Arts assessment is notably lower, hovering near or below fifty percent across the tested grades, which suggests a soft spot worth discussing with the school. Science proficiency in fifth grade also runs below fifty percent. The school's overall proficiency index across tested subjects and grades places it above the midpoint among Monroe County elementary schools, reflecting strength in mathematics that somewhat offsets the weaker language arts and science results. A parent may want to look into the school's reading and language arts instruction further with the school, particularly in light of how much of the district's recent curriculum work has focused on structured literacy approaches.

The housing market in Webster shows active growth. Home values and rents have both increased year-over-year, and real estate inventory includes both active sales and new residential construction. The town is experiencing infrastructure investment and downtown revitalization, which affects the community character families will inhabit. Parks including the Hojack Trail, a library branch, and transit connections are present in the area.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
