Field Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the district and state averages in various MAP test subjects, particularly in English Language Arts. In 2022-2023, 56% of 5th-grade students at Field Elementary were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 44.9% for the district and 44.1% for the state. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.3, lower than several nearby schools such as Sequiota Elementary and Walt Disney Elementary, which also demonstrate strong academic performance.

However, Field Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 163 out of 1,108 Missouri elementary schools in 2012-2013 to 379 out of 898 in 2022-2023, suggesting that the school may be facing increasing competition or challenges compared to other high-performing schools in the state. Additionally, the school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as low-socioeconomic status students, has been mixed, indicating potential achievement gaps that may need to be addressed. Despite these challenges, Field Elementary remains a well-performing school within the Springfield R-XII district.

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.
