Springfield School District No. Re-4

Summary:

The Springfield School District No. Re-4 in Colorado operates two schools: Springfield Elementary School and Springfield Junior/Senior High School. Both schools are performing significantly below the state average on standardized tests, with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math.

Springfield Elementary School has a particularly high rate of chronic absenteeism at 27.7%, well above the state average. The school also serves a high-need student population, with 74.71% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. In contrast, Springfield Junior/Senior High School has a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 84.2%, though still below the state average, and a low dropout rate of 1.9%.

Overall, the Springfield School District No. Re-4 appears to be struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students. The consistently low academic performance, high rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism, and the district's overall low ranking suggest a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and the overall quality of education in the district.
