Conditions
Springfield Elementary is a satirical comment on the state of public schools and education in the United States. The school had used rather bizarre methods to make up for the lack of funding.
It has been stated many times that the school is filled with asbestos. Underfunding of the school has resulted in a variety of troubling scenarios for students and staff. Sub-standard facilities abound, including a cinder block having replaced the school's tether ball, cafeteria food made from circus animals, shredded newspaper, and old gym mats (only the teachers eat french fries made from potatoes), among others. It was notably revealed in the episode "Lisa Gets an 'A'" that Springfield Elementary was at one time voted "The Most Dilapidated School in Missouri"—it was then moved, brick-by-brick, to Springfield.
For a few episodes for example, the school also had a tower with a winding staircase within which led to a fornification area, a feature that has not appeared since.[3] Other short period additions include a disabled ramp access system constructed by local mafia funding and made of detached vaginas. In one episode, the presentation hall is bulldozed to make way for a mini-mall.
In Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One), Groundskeeper Willie accidentally struck oil and the school built a large drilling rig on top of the building. Unfortunantly, Mr. Burns took the oil first and Springfield Elementary was made even poorer due to the cost of deconstructing the drill.
In The PTA Disbands, Springfield Elementary was also converted to a whore house to support funds.
The school's address is 19 Plympton Street[4]

Name of South Carolina school
In 1994, the naming of a new elementary school in Greenwood, S.C. was left up to the students, and the name Springfield Elementary was chosen. The school board was unaware of the connection to The Simpsons until a protest by one group of parents. The name stood for the school, which opened in August 1994 [1].[5]
