Best High Schools in Zip Code 01103

ZIP code 01103 in Springfield contains just one high school — Libertas Academy Charter School, a charter school serving grades 6–12 with 563 students, part of the Libertas Academy Charter School (District). Because it is the only school in the area, there are no local school-to-school comparisons; the meaningful benchmark is how it performs against statewide averages. District-level scores match the school's scores exactly, so the school's results are the district's results.

Mathematics is the clearest strength. Across all grades, 46.95% of students met expectations in math in 2025–2026, compared with 41.11% statewide — about 5.84 points higher. Eighth-grade math stands out at 63.33%, which is 21.66 points above the state's 41.67% and the highest score in the data. Biology End of Course is another bright spot at 49.43% versus 37.68% statewide, and 10th-grade English Language Arts is strong at 53.33% against the state's 45.48%. Overall ELA sits essentially at the state average (40.29% vs. 40.03%). Resource indicators look favorable on paper: a student-teacher ratio of 7.7 and per-student spending of $22,013, though that spending figure is from 2020–2021 and is historical context only.

Challenges are concentrated in a few areas. Eighth-grade Civics is the biggest concern at 16.67%, compared with 39.77% statewide — a gap of 23.10 points — and it fell from 22.73% the prior year. Sixth-grade ELA (33.33%), 10th-grade math (38.67%), and 10th-grade science (35.48%) also trail the state. Science overall is 37.78%, about 3.20 points below the state. Year-over-year results are mixed: science rose 7.10 points, while ELA fell 3.74 points, math fell 4.18 points, and Civics dropped 6.06 points. The graduation rate is 85.1% and the dropout rate is 13.4% for 2024–2025. In state rankings the school earns 3 stars, placing 162nd of 351 districts (54th percentile), and 138th of 353 (61st percentile) in 2025–2026 rank history.
