Summary

Springville Elementary is a K-8 public school serving about 335 students in the Springville Union Elementary district, offering smaller class sizes than many neighboring schools in the Porterville area.

While the school's test scores are generally below the state average, it performs notably better than several nearby schools with similar student demographics, such as Belleview Elementary and Monte Vista Elementary, and does so while spending less per student. However, a significant challenge is a high rate of chronic student absenteeism, which is worse than the state average and much higher than at schools like Santa Fe Elementary, a high-performing school that excels despite similar demographics.

The school shows distinct strengths and areas for growth: its 8th-grade science scores beat the state average, but there is a large performance gap between female and male students. Academic results also vary widely by grade level, with 5th-grade math being a particular concern. Compared to schools in the larger Porterville Unified district, Springville's performance has been trending downward in recent years, closely aligning with the rise in absenteeism.
