Elementary Schools in Springfield R-Xii

The Springfield R-Xii school district in Missouri is home to 37 elementary schools serving students from pre-K through 5th grade. These schools vary significantly in their academic performance, student demographics, and resource allocation, with some standout institutions and others struggling to meet state standards.

Among the top-performing elementary schools in the district are Gray Elementary, which ranks 61st out of 898 Missouri elementary schools and boasts strong math and English proficiency rates, and McBride Elementary, which ranks 72nd in the state with excellent proficiency in both math and ELA. Other standout schools include David Harrison Elementary and Sequiota Elementary, which also demonstrate high academic achievement.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in performance across the district. Schools with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Weaver Elementary with a 91.07% rate, tend to have much lower test scores than their more affluent counterparts. Additionally, spending per student and student-teacher ratios vary widely, with outliers like Bingham Elementary having an exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 6.8 and Delaware Elementary spending over $16,000 per student, significantly more than other schools in the district.
