I am the owner of this site and because I have forgotten login name, I can only update the site like this, I really want the site redesigned. I noticed that this site is getting used less and less and content is always getting deleted. I hopefully will have done this by August at the latest. Whilst I update this site I will post this message here, maybe under one of my Hello names which I use. In the meantime visit…

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 revealed that Springfield Elementary was at one time voted "The Most Dilapidated School in Missouri" and was then moved, brick-by-brick, to Springfield.<ref>"[[Lisa Gets an "A"]]"</ref> The school is overcrowded because of insufficient funds to build more classrooms.

In addition, the teachers are less than average, known for their lack of ability to teach, and are seen smoking and drinking within the school premises.

Before Bart came to the school and before Lisa was born, the school had a swimming pool and Groundskeeper Willie was the swim coach. Skinner took the pool out when he spent an entire weekend inside it, among lots of worms, which made him what he is today. This was a prank made by [[Andy Hamilton]], a former student of the school.<ref>"[[Pranks and Greens]]"</ref>

Underneath the school was once an oil well (which was accidentally discovered by Groundskeeper Willie while burying Superdude the hamster) which lead Principal Skinner and Superintendent Chalmers to welcome everyone's ideas of how to spend the money (some rather ridiculous). Mr. Burns then began to steal the oil from the school, which not only resulted in the loss of their fortune, but the cost of deconstructing the oil platform above the school placed it in a far worse financial state than before, forcing Skinner to get rid of nearly everything in the school. Mr. Burns was shot later. It was believed that Skinner was the one who shot him, supported by his going to the Bathroom.

In ''[[The Simpsons Road Rage]]'', the school is a possible drop-off location in the {{ap|Evergreen Terrace|Simpsons Road Rage}} level. The hallway can be driven through and [[Willie's shack]] can be destroyed by driving into it. Through a window, the words "[[Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One)|This is not a clue... or is it?]]" are seen on a blackboard in what is presumably the [[Fourth Grade]] classroom.

In ''[[The Simpsons: Hit & Run]]'', the school can be visited in Levels {{ap|Level 1|The Simpsons: Hit & Run|1}}, {{ap|Level 4|The Simpsons: Hit & Run|4}} and {{ap|Level 7|The Simpsons: Hit & Run|7}}. The school roof can be climbed on with the help of air vents. It is possible to enter the hallway where a number of missions are assigned. Within the hallway, the fourth grade classroom is visible and events can be viewed such as Willie getting hit by a rake or Ralph sticking a pencil in his nose. The player can interact with Principal Skinner (Levels 1 and 4 only) and set off the fire alarm and a fire extinguisher.

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.<ref>http://www.simpsonsarchive.com/other/articles/briefhistory.html</ref>

Location Information
Town: Springfield

Owner: State government
First appearance: "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire"

Springfield Elementary School is an elementary school which Bart Simpson, Lisa Simpson, and many other children of Springfield, such as Nelson Muntz, Janey Powell, Martin Prince, Ralph Wiggum, and Milhouse Van Houten attend.

The principal is Seymour Skinner and its superintendent, who often visits the school, is Superintendent Chalmers. The school's mascot is a puma.[1][2]

Profile[edit]

Springfield Elementary is around two stories high, and contains a Gym and a Cafeteria. The basement includes a steam tunnel. At one point, there was somewhat of a steeple on top of the school roof. The floorplan is identical to that of West Springfield Elementary School.

There is a field trip memorial that shows the names of the students who never came back from a field trip;[3] it is equal to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C. . Groundskeeper Willie constantly has to edit the wall, and is very sad and angry when he must engrave the name of a student with a long name, like Bart and Lisa Simpson.

Condition[edit]

Springfield Elementary is heavily underfunded. With almost constant reductions in the budget the school has been forced to use rather bizarre methods to make up for the lack of funding.

The fourth grade classroom.

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 revealed that Springfield Elementary was at one time voted "The Most Dilapidated School in Missouri" and was then moved, brick-by-brick, to Springfield.[4] The school is overcrowded because of insufficient funds to build more classrooms. In addition, the teachers are less than average, known for their lack of ability to teach, and are seen smoking and drinking within the school premises.

Before Bart came to the school and before Lisa was born, the school had a swimming pool and Groundskeeper Willie was the swim coach. Skinner took the pool out when he spent an entire weekend inside it, among lots of worms, which made him what he is today. This was a prank made by Andy Hamilton, a former student of the school.[5]

The school was once shown to have a tower with a winding staircase within which led to a fornification area, where Skinner asked Patty to marry him.[6][7] Other short period additions include a disabled ramp access system constructed by local mafia funding. The auditorium was once bulldozed to make way for a mini-mall.

At one time, Groundskeeper Willie accidentally struck oil and the school built a large drilling rig on top of the building. Unfortunately, Mr. Burns took the oil first and Springfield Elementary was made even poorer due to the cost of deconstructing the drill.[8]

Springfield Elementary was partially converted to a prison to support funds.[9]

The school's address is 19 Plympton Street.[10] When Springfield underwent an economic crisis, Springfield Elementary, as a result of the cutbacks from the slump, significantly shortened the school day to no school at all.

Underneath the school was once an oil well (which was accidentally discovered by Groundskeeper Willie while burying Superdude the hamster) which lead Principal Skinner and Superintendent Chalmers to welcome everyone's ideas of how to spend the money (some rather ridiculous). Mr. Burns then began to steal the oil from the school, which not only resulted in the loss of their fortune, but the cost of deconstructing the oil platform above the school placed it in a far worse financial state than before, forcing Skinner to get rid of nearly everything in the school. Mr. Burns was shot later. It was believed that Skinner was the one who shot him, supported by his going to the Bathroom. However, while he did intend to ambush Burns and kill him, he was not the one who shot him, as he had mixed up his camouflage facepaint with his mother's makeup while attempting to put camouflage on when it happened.

The school also held a Medieval festival but the festival was disrupted by Groundskeeper Willie. But Principal Skinner blames Bart on Groundskeeper Willie's prank and expels him. But Bart was returned back as an apology probably by Superintendent Chalmers who then scolds Principal Skinner for expelling the wrong culprit and been told by one Bart's friends who been witnessed the prank.

It is surprising that the school has managed to stay open with all the problems it has. It was also one of the few landmarks that wasn't destroyed during Trappuccino, much to Bart's disappointment.

Many of the staff are less than thrilled to work there and are often involved in relationships with one another, they have even been known to get involved in "school yard rumbles" with the students.

Video games[edit]

In The Simpsons Road Rage, the school is a possible drop-off location in the Evergreen Terrace level. The hallway can be driven through and Willie's shack can be destroyed by driving into it. Through a window, the words "This is not a clue... or is it?" are seen on a blackboard in what is presumably the Fourth Grade classroom.

In The Simpsons Skateboarding, the school is featured prominently in the Springfield Elementary level.

In The Simpsons: Hit & Run, the school can be visited in Levels 1, 4 and 7. The school roof can be climbed on with the help of air vents. It is possible to enter the hallway where a number of missions are assigned. Within the hallway, the fourth grade classroom is visible and events can be viewed such as Willie getting hit by a rake or Ralph sticking a pencil in his nose. The player can interact with Principal Skinner (Levels 1 and 4 only) and set off the fire alarm and a fire extinguisher.

In Level 7 it has been turned into Springwart's School of Magicry.

Behind the Laughter[edit]

In the opening credits the school is featured with Bart writing lines on a blackboard. The school's design and apparent floorplan is identical to Chapman Elementary School in Portland, Oregon.

Name of South Carolina school[edit]

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.[20]
