GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The I.B program is great, but certain teachers are incompetent and are not qualified to be teaching classes that rigorous. Any time you use the restroom, you are bound to see at least 3 people vaping, yet administration does nothing. However, if you wear leggings and a hoodie, but it doesn't fully cover your butt, you get dress coded. The school is a mess and serious work needs to be done.

I am a incoming senior enrolled in the IB program and I have enjoyed my experience. My teachers have well prepared me for all my IB and AP exams allowing me to pass them all. I would like it to be easier to get schedule changes and guidance appointments

Additionally, I've seen ants and cockroaches everywhere, and it seems like nothing is being d...

So far its only been 2 weeks and I am just disappointed in the school overall. They don't seem to ask parents what they think about anything with some of their policies. The kids have to dress for winter in the freezing cold classrooms and then they say 2.3 miles is a "reasonable" walking distance h...

My daughter has been to 3 High Schools based upon our military requirements and let me tell you Springstead is BY FAR the best. Dont get me wrong, there are issues, overcrowding, faculty disconnect, and the usual bullying issues. However, Springstead has the best run administration Ive seen. They ho...
