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.

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.

Springstead is a very well-rounded school. It has a lot of character that just grabs your attention. Not just on the outside, but the teacher, staffs, admins, and students all ahve a very interesting story that builds the character of Springstead. Overall I can say it was a fun experience, you can really find home in a place like this.
