Summary

Westport Elementary is a public elementary school in Springfield, Missouri, serving 396 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 and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Westport Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Missouri elementary schools over the past several years.

Westport Elementary faces significant challenges in academic performance, with students significantly underperforming compared to district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in math. The school also has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.9% to 42.7% over the past few years, much higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Westport Elementary serves a high-poverty student population, with 87.12% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, suggesting the school faces additional challenges in supporting its students.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Springfield R-XII district, such as Weaver Elementary, Williams Elementary, and Sherwood Elementary, generally outperform Westport Elementary across academic metrics, with higher proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism. However, these schools also serve student populations with lower percentages of free/reduced-price lunch recipients.
