Summary:
The 01107 zip code area of Springfield, Massachusetts is home to 7 schools, including 3 elementary schools and 4 middle schools, but no high schools or alternative schools. The district that these schools belong to is ranked 321 out of 348 in Massachusetts and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
The standout school in this area appears to be Chestnut Accelerated Middle School (Talented and Gifted), which consistently ranks among the top 200 middle schools in Massachusetts with a 3-star rating. Its test scores are significantly higher than the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 50.39% of Chestnut Accelerated Middle School students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 22.11% for the Springfield district and 41.53% for the state.
However, across the other schools in the 01107 zip code, there are concerning trends in academic performance, with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, significant achievement gaps compared to state averages, and high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage in the community. These factors highlight the need for a comprehensive review of the educational programs, teaching practices, and resource allocation in the district to identify and address the root causes of the underperformance and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
