Very Small. There are some amazing teachers but a few are terrible. The funding for sports isn't really there. I really enjoy how well faculty is involved with students and communicating what needs to be done.

Springfield high school is pretty average for a public high school in the southern Vermont area. It is not spectacular in any way, but they do offer quite a lot of opportunities for non-traditional education experiences, like taking tech classes or dual enrollment classes.

Some teachers were great, others were abysmal. Art and music programs were amazing while some of the academic classes were substandard. Has a pretty good ratio of kids getting into decent colleges though.

Horrible school especially if you have a special needs child who requires special services . Do not recommend at all. Should have school choice instead . They just wanna push kids through. New leadership there might help to turn it around .The high school is a waste of Springfield high tax money.

Some of the staff were very rude when we expressed our concerns and didn't follow our daughter's IEP accommodations (by law they have to), blatantly lying to us when we asked if they were. It was so bad that we had to get an advocate from Vermont Family Network...

From my interactions with Teachers and Administration, I have found most of them to be dedicated to their jobs and the students they serve. One of the unique benefits the school has is being attached to the Howard Dean Educa...
