Summary

Springport Elementary School serves 437 students in Kindergarten through 5th grade in the small, rural community of Springport, MI, operating within the Springport Public Schools district.

Springport Elementary has experienced a significant academic decline over the past decade. After ranking in the 64th percentile (3 stars) in 2015-2016, the school has fallen to the 25th percentile (1 star) in the most recent 2025-2026 data. This places it well behind nearby schools like Parkview Elementary School, where 3rd-grade math proficiency reaches 55.7% compared to Springport's 15.1%, and Fern Persons Elementary School, which posts 42.9% proficiency in 3rd-grade English Language Arts versus Springport's 19.2%. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 28.2% is dramatically higher than nearby Island City Academy (5.5%) and Parkview Elementary (8.7%), and this persistent issue has remained stubbornly high for four consecutive years.

What makes these results particularly concerning is that Springport spends $14,796 per student—more than Island City Academy ($11,206) and Parkview Elementary ($13,125)—yet achieves far weaker outcomes. Nearby districts like Olivet Community Schools (70th percentile) and Western School District (64th percentile) significantly outperform Springport, even when serving students with higher poverty rates. There was one bright spot: 5th-grade English Language Arts proficiency reached 47.1% in 2024-2025, exceeding the state average, though this gain was not sustained. For parents considering this school, it's important to understand that while the school invests adequately in its students, the combination of high absenteeism and inconsistent instructional outcomes has created significant challenges that will require focused attention to reverse.
