Summary

Springfield Elementary is a K-5 public school in Fort Mill, SC, serving 798 students within the top-ranked York 04 school district, which is rated #1 in the state.

Springfield is a solid, reliable school that consistently ranks in the top 15% of elementary schools statewide, currently sitting at #69 out of 649 schools (89th percentile). What truly sets it apart is its exceptional support for English Language Learners—the school ranks in the 96th percentile statewide for ELL student performance, placing it among the top 5 schools in South Carolina for this group. It also excels in serving African American students, ranking in the top 10% statewide. The school maintains a healthy climate with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 7.9%, dramatically below the state average of 22.3%. With a student-teacher ratio of 12.2:1 and spending of $12,284 per student—less than many nearby schools—Springfield demonstrates impressive efficiency, achieving strong outcomes for diverse learners while spending less than peers like Kings Town Elementary ($13,184) or Orchard Park Elementary ($15,111).

While Springfield is surrounded by elite schools like River Trail Elementary (#11) and Kings Town Elementary (#9), it offers a more inclusive and equitable model of education. However, there are areas for improvement. Fourth-grade math proficiency (68.6%) lags nearly 9 points behind the district average, and the school saw a slight decline in its most recent year, dropping from #39 to #69. This appears driven by a dip in outcomes for low-income students and a widening gender gap—female students rank in the 94th percentile while male students have slipped to the 82nd percentile. Compared to its closest neighbor, Sugar Creek Elementary, Springfield outperforms in upper-grade math and holds a stronger overall rank. For parents seeking a school that delivers strong, consistent results for all learners—especially those who need extra support—Springfield is a dependable choice worth serious consideration.
