Summary

Pittman Elementary is a public elementary school in Springfield, Missouri, serving 238 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Springfield R-XII school district, which is ranked 177 out of 367 districts in the state.

Pittman Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools, with low academic performance on state assessments. In 2024-2025, only 15.9% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in Math, compared to 35% for the district and 41.4% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low for White students and students with disabilities, ranking in the bottom 25% of Missouri elementary schools in these subgroups. Pittman also has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.8% to 30.6% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state average.

Interestingly, Pittman Elementary performs significantly worse than nearby Sequiota Elementary and Field Elementary, which have higher academic achievement, lower chronic absenteeism, and serve a lower percentage of students from low-income families. Sequiota Elementary, for example, ranked 144 out of 900 Missouri elementary schools in 2024-2025, with much higher proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts compared to Pittman. Despite Pittman's higher per-student spending, the school's academic outcomes have not improved, suggesting that the resources may not be effectively targeted or utilized to address the specific needs of the student population.
