It's pretty good. Feels very safe. Good teachers. Good schedule. Good school. Good clubs and sports.
10/1/2025
My daughter for the last four years has had a good experience with her high school. The prinicipal, staff and teachers are all really good and there for you. If I sent an email to the secretary, counselor, or teacher they are all ready to help and work with me to solve the problems.
12/29/2024
I had an amazing four years and I would have no traded it for the world. I have met the most amazing teachers and they have taught me the fundamentals have what everyone must know by the time they graduate. I was surrounded by an amazing group of friends that I wouldn't have met if it weren't for this school. I hope everyone incoming freshman has the best four years of their life just like I did.

First of all, if you are a student, you should feel safe and happy to go to school. This school doesn’t provide any of that. It gives students stress and allows bullying. The students are bullies okay, they are still kids, understandable. But what about the teachers or other staff members? No, no, n...
4/30/2024
There is clearly more bad staff than good, but the few good ones are what made up the 2 stars instead of 1. The school conditioning/heating system is pretty bad, unequal temperatures in classrooms sometimes severe. I will call them out on this: faculty fails to do things about complaints such as tec...

I was previously a student here at this establishment. May I say that Springfield Public Schools have failed me all the way since the 7th Grade. If it wasn't for a specific guidance counselor, I would not be writing this message. I was severely depressed and even with doctor's recommendations this s...

I have found that Dayton has provided a great selection of classes with challenging work. My child is excelling in school and I feel will be very well prepared for university like my friends children that have left this school district to go on to top notch schools like Penn and Harvard.
