Summary:
Springfield, Oregon is home to 12 elementary schools serving grades K–5, all within Springfield School District 19, which ranks 92 of 141 districts (35th percentile, 2 stars). Together these schools enroll 3,918 students, ranging from 424 at Riverbend Elementary School to 172 at Walterville Elementary School. Across the 12 schools, average proficiency is 40.6% in ELA, 34.0% in math, and 23.9% in science — above the district in ELA and math, above the state in math, but below the state in ELA and well below it in science. Chronic absenteeism averages 33.3%, essentially in line with the state.
The strongest options are Thurston Elementary School, with the highest ELA (62.0%) and science (43.8%) scores, the lowest chronic absenteeism (20.9%), and 4 stars, and Douglas Gardens Elementary School, which has the highest math score (57.9%) and has climbed from 66th percentile/3 stars to 82nd percentile/4 stars. Walterville Elementary School is a small school with solid scores (44.0% ELA, 44.0% math), and Ridgeview Elementary School earns 3 stars while spending the least per student ($20,936).
Several schools need attention. Riverbend Elementary School has the lowest scores in every subject, with 5th-grade math under 5%, and Two Rivers Dos Rios Elementary is also low despite the highest spending ($26,251). Guy Lee Elementary School and Mt Vernon Elementary School have the highest absenteeism rates (43.9% and 43.8%). Notably, spending, class size, and meal eligibility do not reliably predict outcomes — 5th-grade math and science are the clearest citywide weaknesses, while several schools show improvement from low bases.
