ELA is steady across both grades at about 42%, above the state but below the district.

The school spends $15,261 per pupil (2020–2021), the lowest among nearby schools listed, yet still exceeds state proficiency rates.
Compared with nearby schools, Green Meadows Elementary is the strongest peer in 2025–2026, at the 70th percentile with 4 stars; it outscored Soule Road in ELA by 11.7 points, math by 7.5, and science by 11.3. Mapleshade and Mountain View had higher math but lower ELA and science. The nearby Springfield schools—Mary M Walsh, Arthur T Talmadge, Glickman Elementary, and Daniel B Brunton—were generally much lower in ELA and science. Within the district, Stony Hill School serves grades 2–3 and Mile Tree Elementary serves PK–1, so direct comparisons are limited. Overall, Soule Road remains above state averages but is a school to watch because of its recent decline, especially in science and grade 4 math.
