This is a list of the students who attend the fictional Springfield Elementary School from The Simpsons. Springfield Elementary is shown to have many under-achieving students, with the exception of a few students, such as Lisa, Martin Prince and Allison Taylor. In one episode, it is said that there are no Asian students; however this remains uncanonical as a character that resembles Cookie Kwan is often seen (an example includes The Heartbroke Kid).
Major characters
Bart Simpson
Bart Simpson is a known troublemaker at school and is a constant headache for both Mrs. Krabappel and Principal Skinner.
mr moakasawuiz
a weir kid with a funny fu man shoo
Milhouse Van Houten
Milhouse Van Houten is Bart's best friend, although Bart treats him like a lackey.
Nelson Muntz
Nelson Muntz is a bully who takes delight in the pain of others and often uses his trademark "Ha ha!" laugh.
Ralph Wiggum
Ralph Wiggum is the son of Chief Clancy Wiggum and the school's resident "weirdo kid".
Martin Prince
Martin Prince is an exceptionally outstanding fourth grader.
Rod and Todd Flanders
Rod and Todd are a pair of highly religious brothers who are also extremely weak. Their father is Ned Flanders.
Other children
Alex Whitney
Alexandra "Alex" Whitney is a popular new "grown-up" girl in Lisa Simpson's class in "Lard of the Dance", voiced by Lisa Kudrow. She has a mobile phone, credit cards and enjoys dances. She has since made some minor appearances as a background character.
Amy
Amy (whose name was finally revealed in "My Fair Laddy") is a girl in Bart's class. She is a pale-looking girl (or possibly a different race) who has long hair. Like Melissa, she isn't an important character but only used as a class filler. In "My Fair Laddy", Coach Krupt finally revealed her name when he bombarded her with a dodgeball. She squealed and was instantly knocked to the ground.
Allison Taylor
- "Allison Taylor" redirects here. For the 24 character, see Allison Taylor (24 character).
Allison Taylor voiced by Winona Ryder is Lisa's new classmate, introduced in the episode "Lisa's Rival". Allison is as smart as (or smarter than) Lisa, younger (having skipped a grade), and, like Lisa, a young master of the saxophone. At first, Lisa is happy to have a friend as brilliant as she, but eventually Lisa becomes jealous of having a true rival in school. Regardless, Lisa tries to be her friend. To Lisa's chagrin, Allison wins first chair saxophone in the school band, Ralph starts asking her for answers, and Allison's father thinks Lisa is juvenile in comparison.
Tensions climax during Springfield Elementary's annual "Diorama-rama" competition. Allison makes a diorama of The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe, showing the protagonist going insane while a section of the floor "beats" mechanically. With Bart's help and prodding, Lisa sabotages Allison's entry by switching Allison's diorama with one containing a cow's bloody heart. When Principal Skinner sees the result, he criticizes the diorama and questions Allison's overall qualifications. Lisa, overcome with guilt, confesses to the switch. Lisa and Allison lose the competition to Ralph Wiggum, whose diorama consists of a box of Star Wars action figures still in their packaging, objects of sentimental value to Principal Skinner. In the end, Lisa and Allison put aside their differences and become friends.
In later episodes, Allison appears as a background character. Originally voiced by Winona Ryder, she has subsequently had a few small speaking parts, with her voice provided by Pamela Hayden. She appears to be on good terms with Lisa.
Database
Database or Data, voiced by Nancy Cartwright, first appeared in the episode "Bart's Comet" as a member of "the super friends". He has since had speaking parts in several episodes. His real name is not known, and he is usually seen with his fellow nerd Martin Prince. Database is a common target for Nelson, Dolph, Jimbo and Kearney. Database's father is shown in Lemon of Troy, although he never speaks and is only in the background; he has since not been seen. Database was part of the group of boys who invaded Shelbyville in Lemon of Troy and was also part of the Pre-Teen braves in the episode Bart of War. He is seen in The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show where he asks Homer, "On the Itchy & Scratchy CD-ROM, is there a way to get out of the dungeon without using the wizard key?" He's part of the school band as seen in The PTA Disbands. Principal Skinner also chooses him, as well as Lisa Simpson, Martin Prince, and Milhouse to head the CTU operation in "24 Minutes".
In the DVD commentary for Lemon of Troy, Matt Groening states that Database is his least favorite recurring character. Yeardley Smith has also suggested that he should be teamed up with Professor Frink.
Dolph
Dolphin "Dolph" Starbeam (voiced by Tress MacNeille) is part of Jimbo Jones's gang of bullies (along with Jimbo, Kearney, and occasionally Nelson Muntz). Dolph is recognized by his asymmetrical haircut which covers one eye and wears cutoff shorts and Chuck Taylor All-Stars style basketball shoes. He is left-handed and looks to be 14-15 years old. Also, it turns out Dolph is Jewish and attends Hebrew school and is of Mursian descent.
According to his profile in 24 Minutes, Dolph speaks "Spanish, German, Hebrew, Arabic, Korean, Latin, Old English, Klingon, and Esperanto." He is named after Matt Groening’s classmate Dolph Timmerman. Groening has said that Timmerman wasn’t a bully at all, but a "really cool guy."
Francine Rhenquist
Francine Rhenquist, voiced by guest star Kathy Griffin, was a female bully who harassed Lisa in Bye Bye Nerdie. Francine became the subject of Lisa's science experiment on the motivations of bullies. Her last name was revealed in Little Girl in the Big Ten, where it is seen on Brunella Pommelhorst's gym class list.
Ham
Ham is a member of the Superfriends club with Database, Cosine, E-mail, Report Card and Lisa. He also made an appearance talking to Janey in Lisa the Vegetarian. He is a short fat kid with suspenders, a bow-tie and glasses. He enjoys ham radio.
Janey Powell
Janine "Janey" Powell, voiced by Pamela Hayden, first appeared in Bart the General and was once Lisa Simpson's closest friend. She has spent the night over the Simpsons' house and Lisa is seen watching cartoons at her house on numerous occasions.
Her description on the Simpsons POG set described her as "Lisa's fair-weather friend" and this is probably an accurate description. Though she is sometimes seen hanging out with Lisa, other times she teases her along with the other children. She is not portrayed as being nearly as intelligent or nerdy as Lisa. Janey may have had a crush on Milhouse Van Houten, who has a crush on Lisa. She enjoys reading babysitting books.
She is shown as the reluctant second choice for the first female President by the spectre of George Washington after Lisa disappoints him, to which Lisa fiercely objected on the grounds Janey would just fill the Supreme Court with boys.
Janey's last name is confusing as in the episode My Fair Laddy season 17 episode 12 at the science fair the name over Janey's stand reads Janey Henederson.
Jessica Lovejoy
Jessica Lovejoy, voiced by Meryl Streep, is the rebellious daughter of Reverend Lovejoy and Helen Lovejoy, who made her first appearance in Bart's Girlfriend. Transferring to Springfield Elementary after coming home from boarding school, she was Bart's second crush and proved to be more troublesome than even Bart could be. Bart unwillingly took the blame for her misdeeds but Lisa ultimately exposed her at a Sunday church service. Bart pays her back one last time by doing her punishment chore (which at the time was scrubbing the church steps) for her while she runs off only for Bart to mutter that he plans on doing a second-rate job on the steps; the episode then fades into black as Bart laughs. There are indications she has problems with her parents and thus rebels against them.
In a later non-speaking appearance in I, D'oh-Bot, she and her father were participants in a robot fighting competition. Their creation, a centipede-like machine, was defeated by "Chief Knock-A-Homer", Homer and Bart's entry.
She had another non-speaking appearance in Marge Gamer playing soccer against Lisa.
Jimbo Jones
Corky James "Jimbo" Jones (voiced by Pamela Hayden and Tress MacNeille) wears a dark blue knit cap and a black t-shirt emblazoned with a menacing skull. His given name is Corky, but also has been referred to as James by Nelson. He can often be seen hanging around Nelson, Kearney, and Dolph, and he is generally acknowledged as the leader of this clique. He enjoys intimidating his schoolmates and shoplifting. Despite his reputation as a bully and delinquent, it is significant that it is sometimes hinted that Jimbo is in fact Christian, with strong moral standards. It is hinted that he comes from a well-off family, displayed when — with the school closed for a teacher's strike — he and his mother watch soap operas and sip tea together in a very nice living room. This posh lifestyle seems to have been changed after this episode. Several references are made to his mother, called Carol, being a prostitute, who makes excuses about going to the bank, so that she can pick up clients. She sometimes walks around topless, which impresses Jimbo's friends.
Kearney Zzyzwicz
Kearney Zzyzwicz (voiced by Nancy Cartwright) is one of Springfield Elementary's many bullies. He has a crew cut and wears a white torn shirt along with studded wristbands. Although he looks and sounds to be around Jimbo or Dolph's age, he has a young son. It's not known who is the mother, but Kearney says that his divorce was hard on his son, although he got through it okay. He was in third grade with Otto Mann, celebrated the United States Bicentennial, remembers the Watergate scandal, and shaves his beard, though he describes himself as "a teenager, and the parent of a teenager." At one time, he dated Jimbo's mother, claiming that "she came onto me!", and as a result he was beaten up by the rest of the gang and Bart Simpson.
Lewis
Lewis is a character on The Simpsons. His best friend is Richard and he can be seen playing the bassoon in the opening sequence of the show.
Although one of the most minor characters in the show, Lewis appears frequently in scenes involving the Springfield children, and occasionally speaks. He is usually seen with Richard. Lewis is perhaps best known for his exclamation of "In your face, fishwife!" when the children broke curfew to watch horror movie The Bloodening at a drive-in cinema in Wild Barts Can't Be Broken. He also failed to vote for Bart Simpson when he stood for class president, helping to ensure his defeat to Martin Prince. He is often considered Bart's second best friend after Milhouse.
According to gossip, within the episode Girls Just Want to Have Sums, he is very good at ballroom dancing. In "Das Bus" Bart mistakes him for Wendell.
While Lewis has never had significant amounts of dialogue, he has been voiced by Jo Ann Harris, Nancy Cartwright, Pamela Hayden, Maggie Roswell and Russi Taylor throughout the series. His first appearance was in the first episode broadcast, Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire.
Michael
Michael is the son of Fat Tony, the local mafia boss, whose real family name is not known for certain. Michael has only appeared in one episode, The Mook, the Chef, the Wife and Her Homer, in which he is a main character. He appears in this episode after being mentioned twice, the first in Moe Baby Blues and the second in The Seven-Beer Snitch.
Sherri and Terri, twin sisters in The Simpsons, described Michael as "that weird boy who never says anything". He is an obvious homage in name, appearance and behavior, to Michael Corleone.
Melissa
Melissa is a background character, and has only had one speaking role: in Milhouse Doesn't Live Here Anymore, where Milhouse insults Mrs. Krabappel on the bus (she was voiced by Nancy Cartwright). She applauds him along with the school bullies, implying that she herself is one. She is blonde, wears pigtails, and wears pink. She is usually seen in Bart's class and her name has only been mentioned once by Mrs. Krabappel.
In Lisa the Greek, in the changing room of Wee Monsieur, Melissa was seen attempting to shoplift a pair of socks. In the stall, she had taken off her own shoes and put on the new socks. The security guards noticed this on the security camera, and hurried out of the room carrying rifles.
Richard
First seen in Bart the Genius, Richard is a gray haired student at Springfield Elementary School and is one of Bart's close friends. He is usually seen with Lewis and has a leather jacket and a shirt with a small diamond embroidered into the center. As one of the most minor characters in the show, Richard appears frequently in scenes involving the Springfield children, and in the early seasons was often involved with mischief. Throughout the series, he has been voiced by Jo Ann Harris, Pamela Hayden and Maggie Roswell. This is because he rarely speaks and thus has no specific voice actor.
In the early seasons he was commonly seen hanging out with Bart, Lewis and Milhouse, but in recent years he is only seen in the classroom and in crowd scenes. He had a brief speaking part in The Haw-Hawed Couple, where he was voiced by Pamela Hayden. His hair color changes from black to grey, to brown, and then to blue throughout the course of the show. However, in Simpsons Comics, his hair always appears gray. He is also very popular with girls, this was proved in Revenge Is a Dish Best Served Three Times where Milhouse is on a revenge rampage and remarks "Girls like you better!".
Samantha Stanky
Samantha Stanky was Milhouse's love interest in Bart's Friend Falls in Love, voiced by Kimmy Robertson.
Samantha was a new kid at school. She met Milhouse and they fell in love, making Bart jealous in the process. Bart calls Samantha's father and soon he catches her and Milhouse kissing in the treehouse. As a result of her relationship with Milhouse, she was taken out of Springfield Elementary by her father, and transferred to St. Sebastian's School for Wicked Girls (run by an order of French Canadian Nuns). She appeared briefly in Jazzy and the Pussycats, playing the saxophone. Other than that, she hasn't been seen since.
Sherri and Terri
Sherri and Terri, voiced by Russi Taylor , are identical twins with long purple hair. They perpetually reinforce their identities as twins. They are in the same class with Bart at the Springfield Elementary School. In Homer's Odyssey it is revealed that their father is Homer's supervisor at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. He fires Homer for causing an accident while waving to Bart from a cart during a school tour of the plant. Homer, however, had the last laugh when he was promoted above the twins' father to safety inspector. Their mother is shown in "Bart Sells His Soul" and looks just like her daughters. Sherri was born first; they share their birthday with Rod Flanders.
The girls themselves dress identically, reinforcing their "twin-ness". They are quite snobbish, and never miss an opportunity to berate Bart. Bart appears to have a crush on one of them, as admitted in Hungry Hungry Homer. Sherri referred to Bart as an ugly, smelly dork, but was persuaded by Homer to go on a date with Bart after he told her that neither she or Bart could do much better. One of the twins stated that her sister had a crush on Bart in Bart Star. Another time Homer openly addressed Terri as "the one Bart has a crush on". However, Bart seems to have forgotten about his crush (as he has many other loves not long after) and probably ended the relationship altogether.
The two can also be seen as friends of Lisa and at other times rivals of her. In Sleeping with the Enemy, the duo taunt Lisa over her big butt; in Bart of Darkness, they mention that "the same day Lisa got a pool" was the day they realized they like her.
In Simpson Tide, when Homer briefly commanded a nuclear submarine into Russian waters, Principal Skinner prepared for nuclear war by selecting a small group of the best, brightest and most promising students to accompany him to a shelter. He selected Sherri, but not Terri.
In the episode Future-Drama set "eight years in the future", it is revealed that Nelson Muntz simultaneously dated and impregnated both of the twins, who bore him four children (two sets of twins, naturally) shortly before Nelson's high school graduation. He abandoned them during Bart's graduation party.
They have similarities to the ghost girls Danny sees in Stanley Kubrick's adaptation, The Shining, of Stephen King's novel of the same name. In a deleted scene of the parody of the Shining called "The Shinning" they are ghost twins seen by Bart. Even in The Simpsons Game, the twins can be found in the game hub in one of the elevators acting the same way.
They appear in the title sequences of each episode playing the flute in the school band.
In the episode Last of the Red Hat Mamas, it is revealed that they have a secret twin language that only they can understand.
Üter
Üter Zörker, voiced by Russi Taylor, is the overweight German foreign exchange student, with odd habits such as offering his already-licked lollipops to others as a sign of friendship, and eating marzipan candies (called Joy Joy) fortified with iodine. He was left behind on the Civil War field trip. Although a joke was made of Üter's disappearance in a later episode, with his parents asking Skinner where their missing son was, he has since reappeared, although in 24 Minutes he is seen stuck in a cobweb in the school airvents. In the German version of the show Üter is an exchange student from Switzerland. His uncle is a proud owner of a bubblegum-factory in Düsseldorf (respectively Basel in the German version). Contrary to the common Anglo-Saxon misinterpretation that Üter is a Swiss name, it is probably a misconstruction of the common German name Günther. It is revealed in the episode Jazzy and the Pussycats that he can play the trumpet quite well. He is most likely based on Augustus Gloop, the gluttonous German boy from the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. He even does a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory diorama, but he eats it in Lisa's Rival.
Weasels
Weasel #1 and Weasel #2 are Nelson's cronies from the episode Bart the General. They have made a number of background appearances since then. They attend Ms. Hoover's class. They look identical except for their skin tone; one is African American and the other is Caucasian.
Wendell Borton
Wendell Borton is a perpetually nauseated and extremely pale (possibly albinistic) boy with worried eyes and curly hair, who first appeared in Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire. He makes frequent appearances at the School Nurse's Office at Springfield Elementary School. He is a classmate of Bart Simpson, though he is most seen with classmates Richard and Lewis, and voted for Martin Prince, thus making Bart lose in the class election, ensuring the victory of Martin Prince. He cannot keep any food down, most notably corn dogs, french fries, mystery meat, Gorditas, the McRib, chicken wings, sausage, liver, tapioca, and tofu. He becomes especially sick on field trips, with a tendency to become even paler than usual. He once died in a freak accident with a pencil in a Treehouse of Horror episode (which are not canonical to the main series). He is one of the few characters (like Bart, Lisa & Maggie) whose hair is the same color as his skin. Although a friendship with Bart is hinted (Bart choosing to say his apparent last words to him in (Das Bus), Wendell is commonly mistaken for Lewis, despite the difference in their skin color.
Throughout the series, he has been voiced by Jo Ann Harris, Pamela Hayden, Nancy Cartwright and Russi Taylor. This is because he rarely speaks and thus has no specific voice actor.
