Springville Elementary

Summary:

Springville Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades K-8 in Springville, CA, with 329 students. The school is part of the Springville Union Elementary District, which is ranked 589 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Springville Elementary has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, its student performance on standardized tests is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from around 15-50% across different grade levels and subject areas. The school's performance is particularly weak in 4th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics, where proficiency rates are around 15-25%, significantly below the state and district averages. Additionally, Springville Elementary has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.9% in 2017-2018 to 23.6% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the state average and the district's average.

Compared to the nearby schools in the Porterville Unified School District, Springville Elementary generally performs on par or slightly better in some areas, such as English Language Arts proficiency. However, the nearby schools, particularly Santa Fe Elementary, outperform Springville Elementary in several key metrics, including student performance, chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic status. This suggests that Springville Elementary may need to address underlying issues to ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed.

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.
