Summary:
The Springfield Platteview Community Schools district in Nebraska is home to two elementary schools: Springfield Elementary School and Westmont Elementary School. Both schools serve students from kindergarten through 6th grade and are part of the larger Springfield Platteview Community Schools district.
Based on the available data, Westmont Elementary School appears to be the standout performer within the district. It has consistently ranked higher in the statewide school rankings, placing 67th out of 459 Nebraska elementary schools in 2022-2023 and 104th out of 428 in 2023-2024, earning 4 out of 5 SchoolDigger stars. In contrast, Springfield Elementary School has ranked lower, placing 171st out of 459 in 2022-2023 and 211th out of 428 in 2023-2024, with a 3 out of 5 star rating. Westmont Elementary School has also demonstrated stronger academic performance, with higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across multiple grade levels compared to the district and state averages.
Both schools have similar chronic absenteeism rates of 19.3% in the 2024-2025 school year, suggesting that attendance challenges may be a district-wide issue. Additionally, Westmont Elementary School has a higher percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients at 27.21% in 2023-2024, compared to 18.73% at Springfield Elementary School. This difference in socioeconomic status could be a factor in the schools' academic performance, though further analysis would be needed to understand the relationship.
