Summary:
ZIP code 01103 in Springfield contains just one listed school: Libertas Academy Charter School, a high school that actually serves grades 6–12 with 563 students, operating as a single-school charter district known as Libertas Academy Charter School (District), so district figures mirror the school's own numbers. Because there are no other schools in this ZIP code to compare against, the most useful comparisons are between this school and the state of Massachusetts, along with how its results have changed from year to year.
Academically, the picture is mixed. Mathematics is the clearest strength: 46.95% of students were proficient overall, about 5.84 points above the state, and 8th grade math reached 63.33%, more than 21 points above the state average. Biology End of Course was also strong at 49.43%, about 11.75 points above state. English Language Arts sits close to the state average at 40.29%, with 10th grade ELA a bright spot at 53.33% but 6th grade ELA weaker at 33.33%. The biggest concern is 8th grade Civics, where only 16.67% of students were proficient versus 39.77% statewide — a gap of more than 23 points. Science improved to 37.78% but remains slightly below state, and 10th grade math and science are also below state averages.
Beyond test scores, the school reports an 85.1% graduation rate and a 13.4% dropout rate for 2024–2025 — the dropout figure is worth asking about. The student-teacher ratio is a favorable 7.7, suggesting smaller classes or more instructional support, and per-student spending was $22,013 (from 2020–2021, so it may be out of date). Free/reduced lunch information was not reported, so family economic context cannot be assessed from this data. In rankings, the school lands around or slightly above the middle: 138th of 353 schools, the 61st percentile, with 3 stars in 2025–2026.
