While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is consistently lower than the state averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, the school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 70% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Springport Elementary School's proficiency rates on the M-STEP assessments range from 22.1% to 40.5% in English Language Arts and 22.1% to 32.4% in Math, compared to state averages of 39.6% to 44% in ELA and 32.6% to 43.4% in Math. The school's performance in Science (25.7%) and Social Studies (6.8%) for 5th grade is also significantly lower than the state averages of 40.4% and 18.9%, respectively. This trend of declining performance has been observed over the past three school years, with the school's statewide ranking dropping from 1058 out of 1344 Michigan elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1005 out of 1486 in 2023-2024.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $13,811 and a student-teacher ratio of 16.6 to 1, Springport Elementary School faces challenges in providing effective educational opportunities for its students. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.9% and the socioeconomic factors affecting its student population may be contributing to the lower academic performance. Targeted interventions and support will be crucial in addressing these issues and improving educational outcomes for the students of Springport Public Schools.
