Summary

Springfield Middle is a public magnet middle school in Williamsport, Maryland, serving 755 students in grades 6-8. It is part of the Washington County Public Schools district, which is ranked 11th out of 25 districts in the state.

While Springfield Middle performs reasonably well in some areas, such as English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency and Algebra/Geometry, it lags behind nearby schools like Middletown Middle, Smithsburg Middle, and Boonsboro Middle in mathematics proficiency and overall state rankings. The school's high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 26.9% to 31.7%, are also significantly higher than the state and district averages, which could be an area of concern.

Interestingly, the nearby schools with higher performance tend to have lower rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, suggesting a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement. Additionally, Springfield Middle has seen a steady increase in per-student spending over the past few years, from $12,751 in 2020-2021 to $17,901 in 2023-2024, and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.9 to 15.0, indicating a potentially favorable learning environment. As a public magnet school, Springfield Middle may also offer specialized educational programs that could contribute to its performance and ranking.
