Big Springs Elementary has consistently low proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, well below the state average. The school's performance has been declining over the past three years, with proficiency rates decreasing in most grade levels and subject areas. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 31.0% is also significantly higher than the state average, which is concerning as chronic absenteeism is closely linked to lower academic achievement.
