Summary:
Springfield Preparatory Charter School is the only school in the Springfield Preparatory Charter School (District), a single-school district in Springfield, Massachusetts serving about 486 students in grades K–8 at 2071 Roosevelt Ave. Although it teaches kindergarten through eighth grade, the area summary classifies it as an elementary school, with no middle, high, or alternative schools in the district. Because there is only one school, district results and school results are identical, so there is no local peer to compare against — the meaningful comparison is with Massachusetts as a whole.
On that comparison, the school stands out. It ranks 218th of 899 Massachusetts schools (76th percentile, 4 stars), and its district ranks 84th of 351. In 2025–2026 MCAS, it exceeded the state average in English Language Arts (51.74% vs. 40.03%), Mathematics (52.22% vs. 41.11%), and Science (53.85% vs. 40.98%) — advantages of roughly 11 to 13 percentage points. It beat the state in 17 of 18 school-level comparisons. Highlights include 6th grade Math (64.15%, +21.56 points), 5th grade ELA (58.49%, +20.34 points), and 3rd grade ELA (59.62%, +16.83 points). Math was above state in every tested grade, and Science and 8th grade Civics were above state as well.
The one soft spot is 8th grade ELA at 36.54%, which is 5.16 points below the state's 41.70%. That looks isolated, since 8th grade Math, Science, and Civics are all above state. The school has also been improving, moving from 290th (68th percentile, 3 stars) in 2023–2024 to 218th (76th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–2026. Some context is missing: the free/reduced lunch percentage is not reported, per-student spending of $16,557 is from 2020–2021, and the student/teacher ratio of 11.2 comes with no comparison point.
