Summary:
The 01128 zip code of Springfield, Massachusetts is home to two middle schools: Kiley Academy and Kiley Prep. Both schools have consistently low academic performance, ranking among the lowest-performing middle schools in the state.
According to the data, neither Kiley Academy nor Kiley Prep are standout schools. Both have very low statewide rankings, with Kiley Academy ranked 464th out of 484 Massachusetts middle schools and Kiley Prep ranked 474th out of 484 for the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, both schools are rated 0 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating they are among the lowest-performing schools in the state. The schools' proficiency rates on the MCAS Next Generation assessments are significantly lower than the Springfield district and Massachusetts state averages across all subject areas and grade levels.
Despite the relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios at both Kiley Academy and Kiley Prep, the schools have been unable to improve student outcomes. This suggests that these schools require significant, targeted interventions and support to address the underlying factors contributing to their poor academic performance and low rankings. Strategies such as curriculum and instructional improvements, professional development for teachers, and increased student and family engagement may be necessary to drive meaningful progress.
