There are 410 students and 57 faculty members, of which 25% hold doctorates, 80% hold advanced degrees and 74% live on campus (as of the 2018-2019 school year). Annual tuition (as of the 2023-2024 school year) is $ 76,985 for boarding students and $ 54,750 for day students, including meals, books, and fees. For the 2019–20 school year, Webb offered $ 5.5 million in need-based aid to 35 percent of the families, with awards ranging from several thousand dollars to nearly the full cost of tuition.
