Webster Magnet Elementary is a school on the rise, changing to meet the needs of our students. We are bolstering our academic program, restructuring enrichment classes, and implementing Responsive Classroom to build communities of learners.

We bring together a diverse student population in a dynamic learning environment where enrichments provide hands-on experiences and a chance to develop in-depth knowledge and skills. Homeroom teachers provide students with a foundation in reading, writing, and math and integrate technology into classroom instruction.

Our school offers all-day kindergarten, a Gifted/Talented program, Student Leadership, after-school programs, and the largest elementary library in Saint Paul.
