Summary:
The Springville Union Elementary district consists of a single, rural K-8 school, Springville Elementary, serving 335 students in the small community of Springville.
Academic performance at the school shows a mixed picture, with some notable strengths alongside significant challenges. While student test scores in English and Math are generally below state averages, Springville Elementary excels in 8th-grade Science, where proficiency exceeds the state average, and 3rd-grade English, which also performs above average. However, a sharp decline in Math scores by 5th grade is a key area of concern. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is higher than the state average, which can impact learning, and it serves a population where over half of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite per-student spending that is above the state average, the school's overall academic ranking has fluctuated slightly in recent years, currently placing in the 43rd percentile statewide. The data suggests that targeted support in upper elementary mathematics and strategies to improve consistent attendance could help address performance gaps, while the school's successes in science and early English could provide models for improvement in other subjects.
