Summary

Springfield Public Day Middle School is a small public middle school in Springfield, MA, serving 60 students in grades 6–8 as part of the Springfield district. In 2025–2026, it ranked 477 of 478 Massachusetts middle schools—the 0th percentile with 0 stars—and reported 0% proficiency in English language arts, math, and science for all grades, plus 0% in 8th-grade civics. That is far below the Springfield district averages (22.09% ELA, 17.37% math, 20.90% science) and state averages (40.03% ELA, 41.11% math, 40.98% science).

This is not a one-year dip: the school has stayed in the bottom 0–2 percentiles across its reported history, including 501 of 501 in 2020–2021. Nearby comparisons are stark. Springfield Legacy Academy ranks 476 of 478 but still reports slightly higher proficiency (1.93% ELA, 0.49% math, 1.03% science). Chestnut Accelerated Middle School (Talented and Gifted) is only 0.34 miles away, ranks in the 65th percentile, and reports 51.43% ELA, 35.84% math, and 43.53% science. South End Middle School ranks in the 19th percentile. Out-of-district schools such as Dupont Middle in Chicopee, West Springfield Middle in West Springfield, and Roberta G. Doering School in Agawam also post much higher proficiency.

The school has a 6.5 student-teacher ratio (2024–2025) and $38,119 per-student spending (2020–2021)—more favorable than most nearby schools—yet outcomes remain at the bottom. Subgroup results are mostly very low: special education students ranked in the 2nd percentile in 2025–2026, after a stronger 33rd percentile in 2023–2024, and low-income students also ranked in the 0th percentile. With only 60 students, a single student can shift a proficiency rate by about 1.7 percentage points, so yearly figures can move. Still, the long-running bottom-percentile rankings and near-zero proficiency across subjects make the overall picture clear: based on available data, this is among the lowest-performing middle schools in Massachusetts.
