Summary

Field Elementary is a public elementary school in Springfield, Missouri, serving 387 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Springfield R-XII district, which is ranked 177 out of 367 districts in the state.

While Field Elementary has higher per-student spending compared to the district and state averages, this does not seem to translate into significantly better academic outcomes. The school has faced challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, below-average test scores in Mathematics and English Language Arts, and underperformance of specific student subgroups. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 34.2% of 3rd-grade students at Field Elementary were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 35% in the district and 41.4% statewide.

Interestingly, Field Elementary is located in close proximity to several other elementary schools in the Springfield R-XII district, such as Sequiota Elementary and Walt Disney Elementary, which consistently outperform Field Elementary on various metrics, including test scores and school rankings. Additionally, Field Elementary has had a relatively high student-teacher ratio, which may be a contributing factor to its academic performance.
