The relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Springhurst Elementary School, ranging from 11.29% to 12.66% in recent years, suggests a higher socioeconomic status of the student population compared to other schools in the area. This could be a contributing factor to the school's strong academic performance. However, while Springhurst Elementary School performs well overall, there are some disparities in the performance of certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic and English Language Learner students, indicating a need to further examine and address any equity gaps within the school.
