Summary

Springfield Middle School in Springfield, LA, serves 440 students in grades 5 through 8 and is part of the highly-rated Livingston Parish school district, which ranks in the 87th percentile statewide. The school has earned a consistent 4-star rating for the 2025-2026 school year and ranks in the 83rd percentile among Louisiana middle schools, making it a solid, above-average performer. Notably, nearly 79% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, yet the school excels in supporting these students, ranking in the 88th percentile for low socio-economic status students—a sign that it effectively closes achievement gaps.

One of the school’s standout strengths is its exceptional performance in Social Studies, where 73% of all students were proficient in 2025-2026, significantly outpacing the district average of 65% and the state average of 55%. This is especially impressive in 8th grade, where 89% of students were proficient, 12 points higher than the district and 28 points higher than the state. In contrast, nearby schools like Ponchatoula Junior High School in the Tangipahoa Parish district rank in the bottom half of the state, highlighting the powerful influence of the district environment. Springfield also maintains an exceptionally low dropout rate of 0.0%, compared to the state’s 3.1%, and achieves 100% proficiency in Algebra I for students taking the End-of-Course exam, far above the district and state averages.

However, the school faces a growing challenge with chronic absenteeism, which has nearly doubled from 10.3% in 2021-2022 to 19.7% in 2024-2025—higher than the district average of 13.3% and on par with Albany Middle School. Additionally, 8th-grade math proficiency dips to 60%, below the district average of 62%, suggesting a need for targeted support as students prepare for high school. Despite these issues, Springfield’s consistent ranking between the 79th and 90th percentiles over eight years, unlike the volatile Walker Junior High, makes it a reliable choice for families seeking a stable, high-performing school in a top district.
