Summary:
The Springfield Platteview Community Schools district in Nebraska is home to two elementary schools: Springfield Elementary School and Westmont Elementary School. Based on the available data, Westmont Elementary appears to be the standout school in the district, consistently outperforming Springfield Elementary across key metrics such as state rankings, test scores, and student-teacher ratios.
Westmont Elementary has maintained a 4 or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past 3 school years, while Springfield Elementary has fluctuated between 3 and 4 stars. Westmont also outperforms the district and state averages on NSCAS English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments, with 6th grade ELA proficiency at 71.05% compared to 54.9% at Springfield Elementary. Additionally, Westmont has a lower student-teacher ratio of 12.4 compared to 13.5 at Springfield Elementary.
Despite the performance gap, both schools are achieving above-average results compared to the state. However, the district may want to examine the factors contributing to Westmont's higher performance and consider ways to replicate those successes at Springfield Elementary. Additionally, the chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1% at both schools is an area of concern that the district should investigate and address.
