Summary

Springfield Middle School in Jacksonville, FL, serves 850 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the Duval school district, where 44% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Springfield Middle has a unique "barbell" performance profile: it excels in advanced courses but struggles with grade-level math. For example, 82% of students were proficient in Algebra 1 and 90% in Biology 1 in 2025-2026, outperforming district averages. However, only 25% of 7th graders and 40% of 8th graders were proficient in grade-level math, well below state averages. This gap is the school's biggest challenge. While nearby schools like James Weldon Johnson College Preparatory Middle School and Julia Landon College Preparatory & Leadership Development S consistently rank in the top 5% of Florida middle schools, Springfield has dropped from the 71st percentile in 2019 to the 40th percentile in 2026, earning a 2-star rating. This decline is not due to funding or class size—its per-student spending ($8,878) and student-teacher ratio (21.2) are comparable to top performers. Instead, it suggests instructional or curriculum issues, particularly in general education math.

On a positive note, Springfield's chronic absenteeism rate (23%) is much lower than nearby struggling schools like Matthew W. Gilbert Middle School (81.5%) and The Bridge To Success Academy Middle School (81.6%), meaning attendance is not a primary barrier. The school's future hinges on replicating its advanced-course success across all math classes, especially for 7th and 8th graders. Parents should ask how the school plans to close this gap and support the majority of students who are not yet on grade level.
