Summary:
The city of Springfield, West Virginia is home to a single elementary school, Springfield-Green Spring Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance has declined in recent years, with proficiency rates in core subjects falling below the averages for the Hampshire County Schools district and the state of West Virginia.
Springfield-Green Spring Elementary School has a total enrollment of 87 students, with a predominantly White student population (96.55%). The school's academic performance has been a concern, with proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science lower than the district and state averages. For example, in 3rd grade Mathematics, the school's proficiency rate was 20%, compared to the district's 50% and the state's 53.2%. The school's statewide ranking has dropped from 133 out of 375 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 351 out of 368 in 2023-2024, indicating a significant decline in performance.
Despite the high spending per student of $12,567 for the 2018-2019 school year, the school's small size and lack of racial diversity may present challenges in terms of resource allocation, personalized attention, and extracurricular opportunities. The declining academic performance and the need for further investigation into the factors contributing to this trend suggest that the school may require targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
