Public Grades PK, KG-5

Summary

Springfield Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Springfield, Colorado, with a total enrollment of 169 students as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school has a predominantly White student population (72.78%), with a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (61.54%).

Despite its small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio ranging from 9.8 to 12 students per teacher, Springfield Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the state and district averages on standardized tests. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in CMAS English Language Arts (22.6%) and Math (25-66.7%) were significantly lower than the state averages of 44.1% and 34.2-41.7%, respectively. This trend has been consistent over the past few years, with the school's performance lagging behind the state and district, and it has a low statewide ranking, placing between 323 and 866 out of over 900 Colorado elementary schools in the past decade.

While Springfield Elementary School has a lower student-teacher ratio than some nearby schools, such as Pritchett Elementary School (8.8 students per teacher) and Walsh Elementary School (11 students per teacher), its academic performance lags significantly behind these schools. For example, Walsh Elementary School, which is 18.7 miles away, outperformed Springfield Elementary in CMAS English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates by a wide margin in the 2023-2024 school year. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Springfield Elementary School may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges.
