The school is part of the Westerly School District, which is ranked 23 out of 60 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's higher per-student spending compared to the state average, Springbrook Elementary consistently underperforms the Westerly district and the state in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency rates across all grades. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rate for all grades was 27.8%, compared to 40.2% for the Westerly district and the state average of 36.7% for 3rd grade and 34.3% for 4th grade. Similarly, in Mathematics, Springbrook's proficiency rate for all grades was 33.9%, compared to 40.4% for the Westerly district.

Interestingly, Springbrook Elementary's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. While Hispanic students at the school perform relatively well, ranking 27th out of 111 Rhode Island elementary schools, White students and male students perform poorly, ranking 102nd and 119th, respectively. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 45.42% to 51.92% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the nearby Dunn's Corners School (29.26%) and State Street School (38.36%), both of which are also part of the Westerly School District and consistently outperform Springbrook Elementary in academic proficiency rates and overall school rankings.
