Daniel Webster Elementary School is an elementary school in New Rochelle, New York, comprising grades Kindergarten through 5, operated by the City School District of New Rochelle. The school was a Blue Ribbon Award winner in 1993-1994. Unlike many other schools, Daniel Webster has a studio arts program.
The Daniel Webster School was one of six New Rochelle Public schools constructed between 1926 and 1932 to accommodate the community's enormous growth in population beginning at the turn of the 20th century. The school was designed to harmonize with the architecture of the homes recently built in the surrounding neighborhood, now known as Glenwood Lake. It is considered a superb local example of Jacobethan Revival-style architecture, and reflects a Suffolk home built during Queen Elizabeth’s reign from 1558-1603. Designed by the prominent architectural firm of Tooker and Marsh, New York City, the general contractors were Guidone and Bottino.

“Philosophic argument, especially that drawn from the vastness of the universe, in comparison with the apparent insignificance of this globe, has sometimes shaken my reason for the faith that is in me; but my heart has always assured and reassured me that the gospel of Jesus Christ must be Divine Reality. The Sermon on the Mount cannot be a mere human production. This belief enters into the very depth of my conscience. The whole history of man proves it.”
—Daniel Webster (1782–1852)
“Are they shadows that we see?
And can shadows pleasures give?
Pleasures only shadows be,
Cast by bodies we conceive;”

“Children in home-school conflict situations often receive a double message from their parents: “The school is the hope for your future, listen, be good and learn” and “the school is your enemy. . . .” Children who receive the “school is the enemy” message often go after the enemy—act up, undermine the teacher, undermine the school program, or otherwise exercise their veto power.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
