Summary:
The Springfield Township School is the sole elementary school in the Springfield Township School District in New Jersey. The school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade and is located in a relatively affluent area.
While the school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, from 373 out of 1,342 New Jersey elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 632 out of 1,347 in 2024-2025, its academic performance is mixed. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics vary across grade levels, with some grades performing above the state average and others lagging behind. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's ELA proficiency rates ranged from 30.4% for 3rd grade to 77.7% for 6th grade, compared to the state averages of 44.9% to 56.1%. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 39.5% for 5th grade to 65.7% for 6th grade, compared to the state averages of 39.8% to 49.8%.
The school's relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (11.46%) suggests a relatively affluent student population, which may contribute to the school's academic performance. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $15,391 is higher than the state average, indicating adequate funding and resources. However, the uneven academic performance across grade levels and subject areas suggests that the resources may not be optimized or effectively utilized to support student learning.
