Summary

Frank W. Springstead High School in Spring Hill, FL, serves 1,853 students in grades 9-12 and is part of the Hernando district, which ranks in the 34th percentile statewide.

Springstead stands out for its strong graduation rate of 94.8%, which exceeds both the district (93.5%) and state (92.2%) averages, and is higher than nearby Hernando High School (91.3%). However, the school faces a significant challenge with chronic absenteeism, which affects 43.5% of students—the highest rate among Hernando County high schools and well above the state average of 31.4%. This disconnect between high graduation rates and high absenteeism suggests that while students are earning diplomas, many are missing substantial instructional time, which likely contributes to the school's struggles in core subjects. For example, only 17% of students are proficient in Algebra 1, the lowest rate among local peers like Weeki Wachee High School (35%) and Nature Coast Technical High (51%). On a positive note, Springstead performs well in U.S. History, with 68% proficiency, tying with Weeki Wachee and Nature Coast.

Springstead’s state ranking has declined over the past decade, from the 68th percentile in 2015-2016 to the 35th percentile currently. The school spends $9,204 per student, the lowest among Hernando County high schools, yet achieves a higher state ranking than Central High School (29th percentile) and Hernando High (31st), suggesting efficient use of resources. The proximity of Nature Coast Technical High, which has lower absenteeism (33.7%) and higher test scores, may be drawing higher-performing students away from Springstead. Compared to Pasco County schools like Fivay High School and Hudson High School, Springstead performs similarly in 10th-grade ELA (42% vs. 48% and 47%, respectively), reflecting broader district challenges.
