Summary

Springfield Elementary is a public elementary school in Charleston, South Carolina, serving 674 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Charleston 01 School District, which is ranked 23 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

While Springfield Elementary's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally lower than the district and state averages, the school has some areas of strength. For example, the school's performance in certain student subgroups, such as African American students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, tends to be better than the overall school. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rates are consistently higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Springfield Elementary's per-student spending is significantly higher than the district and state, suggesting that additional funding alone may not be the sole solution to improving student achievement.

When compared to nearby schools, Springfield Elementary generally performs better than some lower-performing schools in the district, such as Meeting Street Elementary, Hunley Park Elementary, and W.B. Goodwin Elementary. However, the school lags behind high-performing schools like Orange Grove Charter School, Ashley River Creative Arts Elementary, and Montessori Community School, which consistently outperform Springfield Elementary and the district/state averages.
