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.

Springfield High School was a very different experience for me and I have to say that it was hard to get used to after switching schools so often. The way they taught was different than I was used to from the year before, and it was a lot more comforting, knowing I was able to actually get help from a teacher if I needed it. I progressed a lot more and really gained an interest in subjects I had no want or interest in before. I tried harder classes, and I interacted with people a lot more. Overall this school does act as a safe haven for students who need an escape from the stress we students pick up over the years, and that's one of the best things anyone could hope for.

I started school at a private school (Nightingale Montessori) and transitioned over to public school. I had to learn the different styles of teaching which was challenging for me. The best part of my schooling now is that I have teachers that actually help me, and my grades are great.

Springfield High School is horrible, it's unsafe, there is no discipline whatsoever re: the students, and their curriculum is inadequate. I pulled my daughter out of there once I realized that she was not being challenged, nor was she being prepared for college. Not to mention the inadequate discipl...

This is a fabulous state of the art facility. Students are engaged in coursework as you walk the halls and peer in. Featuring an outstanding wide ranging course book, the high school is a very desirable place to be. I've been in many high schools. These guys are improving and getting the job done mo...
