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.

my last year here 2014 I started to notice how unusual some of the sport coaches were. The weightlifting coach, would workout with female students in the weightlifting room. I even told some teachers how it was unusual .

I am having a pretty good experience with Springstead high school, the teachers are very flexible and welcoming here. Not many changes needed. worst part was transitioning into the school because I didn't know anyone but had quickly equated with people.

attended ESE classes from 2011 to 2014. First 3 years I did not lean anything. teachers were just there for a paycheck. Just sat in class 8 hours a day not learning. waiting to do home. 2014 new teacher was alot better. She really cared and did her job. shame as it was my last year 12th grade. she should have been there in 2011. my last year was the only year. I had learned anything. and liked going to school.

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...
