Summary

Springfield Park Elementary is a PK-5 public school in Glen Allen, VA, that serves 652 students as part of Henrico County Public Schools. Despite serving a student body where 90% of families qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, the school posts academic results that are well above the district average in every reported grade and subject on the 2025-2026 SOL exams, and above the state average in six of seven categories. Fifth graders, in particular, shine: math proficiency is about 13 points above the state average and reading about 9.5 points above.

This combination of high poverty and strong results makes Springfield Park an outlier among its neighbors. The schools that share a similar poverty profile — Dumbarton Elementary, Skipwith Elementary, R.C. Longan Elementary, and Jackson Davis Elementary — all rank far lower statewide, with overall proficiency averages ranging from roughly 44% to 69%. Springfield Park's average is near 77%, putting its outcomes far closer to the area's top-tier schools like Rivers Edge Elementary, Twin Hickory Elementary, and Echo Lake than to its high-poverty peers. The school also posts a chronic absenteeism rate of just 9.5% — well below the district (14.1%) and state (14.8%) averages and better than several nearby schools, including Skipwith's 17.5%.

The school's statewide ranking has slipped since its peak years: it was in the 88th percentile in 2018-2019 and now sits at the 62nd percentile (417th of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools). That decline tracks with a sharp jump in the percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which rose from about 44% in 2023-2024 to 90% the following year. Notably, absolute test scores have not dropped — fifth-grade math actually improved over that same period — so the ranking shift is largely a matter of comparative context. In short, Springfield Park is not in the same league as the elite schools a few miles away, but it is dramatically outperforming the schools it most resembles demographically, and its strong attendance and consistent instruction make it a resilient choice for families.

Open Quote I love this school and the people here. I love that it is tucked in a quiet neighborhood and I like that it is smaller and has a more personal feel. Same staff year after year is a plus too! Close Quote
