Springfield Public Day Elementary School

Summary:

Springfield Public Day Elementary School is a small public elementary school in Springfield, MA, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 32 students. The school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Massachusetts, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for several years.

The school's academic performance is significantly lower compared to the state and Springfield district averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 3.57% of students were proficient or better in MCAS Next Generation English Language Arts, compared to 39.17% statewide and 19.1% in the district. Similarly, only 7.69% of students were proficient or better in MCAS Next Generation Mathematics, compared to 40.91% statewide and 16.34% in the district. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as special education and low socioeconomic status students.

Despite the school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 2 to 3.5 students per teacher, and high per-student spending, ranging from $34,704 to $57,999, the academic outcomes remain significantly below nearby schools in the Springfield district, such as Liberty, Glenwood, and Lincoln, which have higher proficiency rates and better SchoolDigger rankings. The persistent low performance of Springfield Public Day Elementary School suggests that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be contributing to the school's challenges.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
