Summary

The The Springfield Renaissance School an Expeditionary Learning is a 6–12 school on Carew Street in Springfield, MA, enrolling 593 students — roughly half the size of Springfield Central High (1,983) — inside the Springfield district, which ranks 322nd of 351 districts statewide. Over a full decade of rank history the school has never left the 17th–28th percentile band or earned more than one star; in 2025–2026 it placed 284th of 353 schools statewide (20th percentile, one star).

Graduation is the strongest part of the story by a wide margin. Renaissance graduates 98.7% of seniors with a 1.3% dropout rate — statistically tied with Roger L. Putnam Vocational Technical Academy for the best in this peer group, far above High School Of Commerce (79.5% and 14.1%) and about 17 points above the district's 82.0% graduation rate. Tenth-grade MCAS results also beat district averages in ELA (32.35 vs 24.25), math (24.19 vs 18.68) and science (16.98 vs 10.9), placing third among six comparable comprehensive high schools. Even so, those results sit well below Massachusetts as a whole (45.48 ELA, 43.73 math, 40.5 science).

The middle grades drag down every school-wide number: 7th-grade math proficiency is just 4.82%, and all-grades math (8.2) and science (15.38) fall below district averages, masking a high school that outperforms the district in every subject. Students with disabilities are the clearest and most persistent gap, ranking in the 6th percentile in 2025–2026 with zero stars (3rd percentile in 2022–2023). Class size is a relative strength at an 11.0-to-1 student–teacher ratio, and per-pupil spending of $17,853 (2020–2021) is mid-pack among Springfield peers. Civics more than doubled from 8.33% to 22.08%, above the district's 13.49% but under the state's 39.77%. Note: free/reduced-lunch data is blank for all years and should be treated as unknown, not as zero.
