Springfield-Green Spring Elementary School

Summary:

Springfield-Green Spring Elementary School is a public elementary school in Springfield, West Virginia, serving 87 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Hampshire County Schools district, which is ranked 21 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

One key differentiator of this school is its racial makeup, with 96.55% of students being white, significantly higher than the surrounding schools, which range from 83.95% to 98.03% white students. Academically, the school has shown a mixed performance, with a 4-star rating in the past but a concerning 0-star rating in the 2023-2024 school year. Its proficiency rates in math, English, and science were lower than the district and state averages, though the school had more competitive scores in previous years. The school's student-teacher ratio is relatively low, ranging from 10.2 to 11.4 students per teacher, lower than the nearby schools. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (62.39%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a population with lower socioeconomic status.

The declining academic performance of Springfield-Green Spring Elementary School is a concerning trend, suggesting the school may be facing challenges in effectively educating its students. The racial homogeneity of the student population, compared to the more diverse nearby schools, is an interesting finding that could indicate potential issues with equity and access. The high percentage of students from low-income families is also a factor that may be contributing to the school's academic struggles, as research has shown that socioeconomic status can significantly impact educational outcomes. Comparing the school's performance to the nearby Keyser Primary School, Paw Paw Elementary School, and other schools in the Hampshire County Schools district provides valuable context, as some nearby schools also face challenges, while others perform better.

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.
