I have attended The Springfield Renaissance School since 2017 and it has been a pretty good school. It feels unique compared to other schools in the area and is incredibly diverse. It has made me feel welcome and feels like a community that I can feel safe and secure in. Overall, Renaissance is, while not perfect, a nice place overall.

Small high school. Something I would wish to see change is a more involved student body when it came to events.
