Summary

Springfield High School of Science and Technology is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Springfield, MA, with an enrollment of 1,097 students. The school is part of the Springfield school district, which is ranked 321 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Massachusetts high schools, with a ranking between 328-346 out of 347-351 schools over the past 10 years. Its performance on MCAS Next Generation assessments is significantly below the state and district averages, with only 13.36% of 10th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 11.79% in mathematics, and 6.01% in science. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 78.6% and 93.7%, which is lower than the state average, and its dropout rate has ranged from 5.9% to 11.2%, which is higher than the state average.

While the overall performance of Springfield High School of Science and Technology is concerning, the school's relatively stronger performance for its English Language Learner and foster care student populations suggests that it may have some effective practices in place that could be leveraged and scaled to benefit the broader student body. Nearby schools, such as The Springfield Renaissance School, High School Of Commerce, and Roger L. Putnam Vocational Technical Academy, generally perform better than Springfield High School of Science and Technology, but still struggle compared to the state averages, indicating that the overall educational landscape in the Springfield area is challenging.
