Summary

Springfield Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 279 students in grades K-5 in Midlothian, Illinois. The school is part of the Midlothian School District 143, which is ranked 712 out of 811 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its diverse student population, Springfield Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages on standardized tests, with only 49.7% of students proficient or better in ELA and 35.6% in Math in the 2024-2025 school year. The school also faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 20.6% to 26.3% over the past few years, well above the state average. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-income families, with 65.95% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools in the Midlothian and Posen-Robbins districts, Springfield Elementary generally performs worse academically, despite having a similar student population in terms of socioeconomic status and demographics. However, the school's relatively strong performance of African American and Hispanic students suggests that with the right interventions and support, the school has the potential to improve and better serve its diverse student population.
