(Ref: Simpsons Wiki/Encyclopedia) Springfield Elementary was originally built as a storage facility for pickled pork. Shortly after, it was converted into an elementary school, and its finances, student test scores, and overall management are abysmal. It's a miracle it hasn't been shut down yet.

Characters
Seymour Skinner
The school principal and arch-rival of Bart Simpson. The two are constantly trying to outdo each other. While he often falls victim to Bart's minor pranks, he's also been subjected to some dangerous ones. He emphasizes upright living but is a mama's boy who is heavily dependent on his mother. He has a severe peanut allergy; even a trace amount touching his skin can cause him to swell up and die from anaphylaxis. (He is a Vietnam veteran and a former Green Beret sergeant. He was in love with Bart's former teacher, Edna Krabappel, and they were nearly married, but his hesitation ended the relationship. Since her voice actress passed away from breast cancer, the character was also written out, meaning they can never reunite, though he still hasn't forgotten her.) He occasionally shows his tough side, citing his Green Beret background to take down thugs twice his size. When Bart cuts class, he has shown superhuman persistence, such as walking across a riverbed underwater or scaling cliffs to catch him.
