Summary:
ZIP code 01108 contains eight schools: six elementary, one middle, and one high school, together serving roughly 2,741 students. Seven are part of the Springfield district, and one — Martin Luther King Junior Charter School of Excellence — is a charter. Both the Springfield district and the MLK charter district rank near the bottom of Massachusetts, so most schools here operate within a very low-ranked district context.
White Street is the strongest performer in the ZIP, with the area's highest ELA (40.72%), Math (38.92%), and Science (46.43%) scores and the best rank (49th percentile). It is the only school here above the state average in ELA and Science, though still below it in Math. Alice B Beal Elementary has the top Science score at 57.14%, well above the state, but its ELA and Math trail state averages. Sumner Avenue improved in all three subjects and now beats district averages in each, while Kensington International School posted the biggest Science gain (up 18.42 points).
At the other end, Forest Park Middle scores under 11% in every subject and ranks in the 5th percentile, with 8th-grade Civics at 8.28% versus 39.77% statewide. Washington Elementary is especially weak in Math (11.18%), and Springfield High School shows a 35.4% graduation rate and 18.8% dropout rate, far worse than district averages. No school in this ZIP is above the state Math average. Science is often the strongest subject, and free/reduced-lunch data is unavailable, so economic comparisons are not possible here.
