Summary:
The city of Springfield, Ohio is home to three middle schools: Roosevelt Middle School, Hayward Middle School, and Schaefer Middle School. These schools serve students in grades 6-8 and are part of the Springfield City School District, which is ranked 700 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating.
Among the three middle schools, Schaefer Middle School stands out as a relative performer, with the lowest student-teacher ratio, the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts for both 7th and 8th grades, and the highest proficiency rate in Algebra I for the End of Course exam. Roosevelt Middle School also had the highest proficiency rates in Algebra I for the End of Course exam, significantly outperforming the district and state averages.
However, the overall academic performance of the middle schools in Springfield is a concern, as all three schools consistently underperformed the state averages in most subject areas. Additionally, the district-level proficiency rates were lower than the state averages across the board, and the chronic absenteeism rate of 39.0% across all three schools is significantly higher than the state average. These challenges suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to improve the quality of education and address the systemic issues affecting the middle schools in Springfield, Ohio.
