Some of the teachers within the district show very little care for both students and their own jobs. Another major issue with the school is the lack of proper funding, leaving students constantly worried that they will lose every activity or class they enjoy.

Overall, what I truly liked about Springfield were the friends I made along the way. I had been going to Springfield since I was in kindergarten and sure I've lost some friends but I've gained ones also that I believe could truly last for a lifetime. On the other hand, something I'd like to see change in Springfield would be their sports. I'd love to see more student involvement and overall team improvement throughout the next few years.

The school is average, there are some teachers that are OK but it is weighed down by the students. The teachers often don't care about the students and the students don';t care about it.

The school has various physical problems with it that span from bad plumbing to filthy environments....

I graduated from Springfield in 1994 and went on to get my Bachelors from Kent. I felt I was prepared for college when I finished H.S. I had bought a house in Ellet, but after having children, we decided to move back to Springfield so our kids could go to these wonderful schools. Very happy to be pa...
