Summary:
ZIP code 73458 has two Springer Elementary School serves PK–8 and enrolls 153 students, while Springer High School serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 56, for 209 students combined. The schools show different strengths, and the most important concern is the high school’s 11th-grade math and science proficiency: 4% and 7%, compared with 17% and 21% statewide.
Springer Elementary stands out in science: 32% were proficient in 2025–2026, 2 percentage points above the state, after being 3 points above in 2024–2025. Springer High stands out for graduation and U.S. History: its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 91%, versus 78% statewide, and its 2025–2026 U.S. History proficiency was 43%, 2 points above the state. The high school’s weakest results were in science and math: all-grades proficiency was 7% in science and 4% in math, compared with 30% and 25% statewide. All-grades results cover different grade spans, so comparisons between these schools are descriptive, not comparisons of the same grades.
Recent results do not point to a consistent area-wide trend: the two-school average ELA gap with the state narrowed from 8 points in 2024–2025 to 6 points in 2025–2026, the math gap widened from 9 to 12 points, and the science gap stayed at 11 points. Meanwhile, SchoolDigger’s high-school percentile rank fell from 52 to 38 to 26 between 2023–2024 and 2025–2026, and its star rating dropped from 3 to 1. Attendance and completion offer a more positive counterpoint: high-school chronic absenteeism was 5% in 2025–2026, versus 16% statewide, and graduation was above the state rate. In 2024–2025, the elementary student–teacher ratio was 12.3, compared with 11 at the high school; free/reduced lunch eligibility was 81% and 77%, respectively.
