Summary:
The three public schools serving zip code 70462 in Springfield, Louisiana, form a complete K-12 pipeline within the highly-ranked Livingston Parish school district, which is in the 87th percentile statewide. These schools—Springfield Elementary School (PK-4), Springfield Middle School (5-8), and Springfield High School (9-12)—serve a total of 1,409 students, with a significant majority coming from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
Springfield Middle School is the clear standout, ranking in the 83rd percentile statewide and consistently outperforming both district and state averages across nearly all subjects. A remarkable achievement is its 100% proficiency rate in Algebra I, which is 25 points higher than the district average. In contrast, Springfield High School shows a mixed performance, excelling in English II but lagging in STEM subjects like Geometry and Biology. Springfield Elementary School performs at or slightly below the district average but well above the state average, and it is on a strong upward trajectory, rising from the 51st to the 73rd percentile over three years.
A critical concern is chronic absenteeism, which escalates sharply from 12.8% at the elementary school to 19.7% at the middle school and 26.4% at the high school—double the district average. Despite this, the high school maintains a strong 94% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate. All three schools have favorable student-teacher ratios (12.4:1 to 14.1:1) and consistently outperform state averages despite high poverty rates, highlighting the effectiveness of the district and local teaching staff.
