Summary

Springfield High School of Science and Technology is a grades 9–12 comprehensive high school at 1250 State Street in Springfield, MA, serving 1,091 students — the third-largest high school in the Springfield district. Its statewide standing sits near the bottom: 333rd of 353 Massachusetts high schools, or the 6th percentile, in a district that itself ranks 322nd of 351. Tenth-grade MCAS proficiency is 13.6% in ELA, 12.27% in math, 6.43% in science, and 7.53% in Biology — below the district in every subject tested, and roughly one-sixth to one-third of state rates. Spending is $18,655 per student with a 12.3-to-1 student-teacher ratio, the thinnest staffing among the six comprehensive Springfield high schools.

Graduation has long been the school's bright spot. For four straight years it graduated between 91.5% and 93.7% of students — 9 to 15 points above the district — while keeping dropout well below it. In the most recent year, graduation fell to 89.3% and dropout rose to 9.6%, erasing that advantage (district dropout 9.7%). The sharpest nearby comparison is Roger L. Putnam Vocational Technical Academy, just 0.15 miles away: it enrolls a comparable number of students and spends similar money, yet posts 37.98% ELA proficiency, 29.46% math, a 98.8% graduation rate, and 1.2% dropout.

The school's standout strength is its English Language Learners, who rank in the 77th percentile with 4 stars — by far the strongest result in this profile and up from the 53rd percentile three years earlier. Several other groups improved too, and math proficiency has edged upward. Yet the overall rank has stayed at the 6th percentile while nearly every nearby Springfield high school has gained: High School Of Commerce (+19 percentile points), John J Duggan Academy (+11), Putnam (+6), Springfield Central High (+2), and The Springfield Renaissance School an Expeditionary Learning (+2). Science remains the weakest subject, despite the school's name.
