Springer Elementary

Springer Elementary serves 347 students across kindergarten through sixth grade in Mountain View, California. The school earns a composite score of 9.3 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — built on an academic score of 9.8 and a growth score of 9.3. Few California public elementary schools come close to either mark.

Those scores translate into concrete competitive standing. Springer ranks #1 among all 14 public schools in Mountain View and sits at #66 out of 9,533 public schools statewide, outperforming 99% of California schools. Among elementary schools specifically, it places #60 out of 5,817 in the state — landing in an extremely narrow tier at the very top of California's rankings.

Enrollment stands at 347 with a student-teacher ratio of 20.4 to 1. The 9.8 academic score anchors the composite, and the 9.3 growth score confirms that strong outcomes extend to year-over-year student progress. Together, the two component scores place Springer among the highest-performing elementary schools in the state.

For parents weighing Mountain View options, the data is straightforward: Springer holds the top spot in the city.

The student-teacher ratio at Springer Elementary is 20.4:1, which is higher than the national average. This may mean larger class sizes, so parents should ask about classroom support, teaching assistants, and how the school differentiates instruction for students who need extra help.
