Summary

Springfield Public Day Elementary School is a small public elementary school in Springfield, MA, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 32 students. The school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Massachusetts, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for several years.

The school's academic performance is significantly lower compared to the state and Springfield district averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 3.57% of students were proficient or better in MCAS Next Generation English Language Arts, compared to 39.17% statewide and 19.1% in the district. Similarly, only 7.69% of students were proficient or better in MCAS Next Generation Mathematics, compared to 40.91% statewide and 16.34% in the district. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as special education and low socioeconomic status students.

Despite the school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 2 to 3.5 students per teacher, and high per-student spending, ranging from $34,704 to $57,999, the academic outcomes remain significantly below nearby schools in the Springfield district, such as Liberty, Glenwood, and Lincoln, which have higher proficiency rates and better SchoolDigger rankings. The persistent low performance of Springfield Public Day Elementary School suggests that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be contributing to the school's challenges.
