Summary:

In ZIP code 01108, there is only one middle school, Forest Park Middle, which serves grades 6–8 and enrolls 282 students as part of the Springfield School District. Because it is the only middle school in this area, parents have no other public middle school option within the ZIP code. The school’s ranking history places it near the bottom of Massachusetts middle schools: in 2025–2026 it ranked 456 out of 478, in the 5th percentile with 0 stars; in 2024–2025 it ranked 436 out of 484, in the 10th percentile with 1 star; and in 2023–2024 it ranked 455 out of 493, in the 8th percentile with 0 stars. The Springfield district itself is ranked 322 out of 351, in the 8th percentile with 0 stars.

On the 2025–2026 MCAS Next Generation tests, Forest Park Middle trailed the state in every reported subject and grade. All-grade ELA proficiency was 10.63% versus 22.09% in the district and 40.03% statewide. Math was 8.56% versus 17.37% district and 41.11% state. Science was 8.28% versus 20.90% district and 40.98% state. Civics was 8.28% versus 13.49% district and 39.77% state. The school’s strongest 2025–2026 result was 6th grade math at 13.68%, slightly above the district’s 13.53% but far below the state’s 42.59%. Its weakest was 7th grade math at 6.16%, below the district’s 9.14% and the state’s 37.48%. Compared with 2024–2025, proficiency fell in every subject: ELA by 3.49 points, math by 3.27 points, science by 3.48 points, and civics by 5.84 points. Civics declined sharply at the school while district and state civics rose slightly.

Additional context: the student-teacher ratio was 10.3 students per teacher in 2024–2025, and per-student spending was $17,736 in 2020–2021. The free/reduced lunch percentage is blank/unknown, so it cannot be used to describe the school’s economic profile. Science and civics results are 8th-grade results. Overall, Forest Park Middle is the only middle school in ZIP 01108, and the available data show very low proficiency rates relative to both the Springfield district and Massachusetts, with a decline from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 across all reported subjects.
