North Springs Elementary

Summary:

North Springs Elementary is a public elementary school in Columbia, South Carolina, serving 703 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Richland 02 school district, which is ranked 33 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

North Springs Elementary faces several key challenges. The school has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (72.55%) compared to nearby schools, and its test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in 5th grade. Additionally, North Springs has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 55.01% to 78.52% over the past three years, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 150 and 452 out of 638 South Carolina elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a current ranking of 334 and a 2-star rating.

However, North Springs Elementary's performance for its African American students ranks highly (top 70 in the state), suggesting potential achievement gaps that need to be addressed. The school also spends more per student ($13,204 in 2022-2023) and has a lower student-teacher ratio (13.7) compared to the surrounding schools, such as Pontiac Elementary, Catawba Trail Elementary, and Bookman Road Elementary, which have higher overall test scores and rankings despite serving similar demographic populations. This indicates that there may be successful practices or strategies at these schools that could be replicated at North Springs Elementary to address its areas of concern.

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.

Teachers are amazing. Very involved Principal . Close Quote

I used to go to this school, BEST and WORST memories of my entire life and to be perfectly honest I don't particularly care for this school at all. Their idea of "order" is basically forcing children to conform to their idea of normal and structural rules, which are just completely ludicrous and bogus. Walk on the silver line? Cricket Wave? And what about the music they play to force us to be quiet at lunch (WHICH IS ONE OF OUR ONLY 2 or 3 SOCIAL TIMES throughout the day) with that weird oddly stripper sounding music. Don't even get me started on walking laps during recess. One teacher made me walk my entire 20 minute recess, during winter, without a jacket, and just for forgetting to get my agenda signed? Like are you kidding me? The teachers are lazy and 99.999 of them are fat and should stop bombarding kids with nutrition facts when they can't take their own advice. Hypocrite much? After Mrs. Barth left this school went WAY down hill, not only did she take numerous of the best teachers in the state with her but she also took what little bit of hope this school had as well. But Word of advice for you parents, if your children are accelerated and very smart, i.e Honors, Junior Scholar like I was then I will say that Quest is a great opportunity to go at a fast paced learning curriculum with people at your speed if not faster. But this is only for MATH and SCIENCE and in every other class while your kid is finishing super quickly and getting bored and beginning to get in trouble and being written up for "interrupting" and "fidgeting" those same very very very slow and dumb children will be getting praised for "taking their time" when in reality they're wasting it. Don't let your child's record be smudged just because they're fast and diligent workers, I WOULD KNOW. But I no longer go to this school, so I'm not sure how things are these days (hopefully better, probably not) but I'm an AP Honors Student at Blythewood High currently and just had to inform / warn some of you guys about this school I spent 6 regrettable years at. Sending a Cricket Wave to all the future Ivy League kids i'll see in a few years!! Close Quote

My son loves attending North Springs school. The teachers have always been nice and supportive. He is going into third grade and has been there since K. I am hoping the new principal continues making this school a great place for the kids!! Close Quote

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.
