Although Springfield High has not been the best 4 years, it is not the worst. The best part of the school is the friends you make and the few teachers who genuinely care and want you to succeed. The worst part of the campus is the administration who only care for themselves and a select few students, most of the teachers do not want to help students and act as if they despise teaching. I would like to see an improvement in sports and club activity.

Springfield is a great small school where everyone knows pretty much everyone. The teachers are all amazing and very understanding and adaptive. We have a welding and carpentry program as well as agriculture, home eq, and plenty others. For the size, it's almost perfect.

There are a few extremely good teachers. But the majority of classes I had to teach myself when I got home. The school is not very strict which is great but it doesn't offer much when it comes to AP classes and preparing you for college as well as real life.
