Summary

Springfield Realization Academy is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Springfield, MA, a district ranked 321 out of 348 in the state and with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has 199 students and its statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, going from 440 out of 501 Massachusetts middle schools in 2022-2023 to 469 out of 484 in 2024-2025, with a 0-star rating.

Springfield Realization Academy consistently underperforms the Springfield district and the state of Massachusetts in MCAS Next Generation assessments across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 8.09% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 22.11% in the district and 41.53% statewide. In mathematics, the school's proficiency rate was 8.62%, compared to 17.12% in the district and 40.74% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10% of Massachusetts middle schools for female students, male students, Hispanic students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students in English Language Arts and mathematics.

The challenges facing Springfield Realization Academy appear to be systemic within the Springfield school district, as nearby schools such as Springfield Public Day Middle School, Springfield Middle School, and STEM Middle Academy also perform poorly compared to the state. In contrast, schools in the neighboring Longmeadow and East Longmeadow districts significantly outperform Springfield Realization Academy and the Springfield district as a whole.
