Summary

Springfield Secondary is a grades 7–12 school in Springfield, MN, serving 314 students and the largest school among its nearby comparison schools. It belongs to Springfield Public School District, which ranks 22nd of 458 Minnesota districts (95th percentile, 5 stars) — the highest among nearby districts. The school ranked 38th of 473 schools in 2025–2026 (92nd percentile, 5 stars), a sharp rebound from 168th (63rd percentile) the prior year.

On 2025–2026 MCA tests, all-grade proficiency was 46.1% in math (state 44.9%), 56.7% in reading (state 48.6%), and 38.1% in science (state 25.5%). Reading and science are the standout strengths: Springfield has the highest all-grade reading and science proficiency among nearby schools, outperforming Wabasso Secondary by 17.1 points in reading (56.7% vs. 39.6%) and 7.8 points in science. Math is above state for the first time in four years but still trails the district's 67.2% average by 21.1 points, the largest school-versus-district math gap among compared schools. Eighth-grade math is the clearest weak spot at 37% (state 42.3%; Wabasso 72.5%), while 8th-grade reading is excellent at 64.3%.

Graduation outcomes are consistently strong: 94.2% in 2024–2025 versus 84.9% statewide, with a 1.9% dropout rate versus 4.2% statewide, and multi-year graduation rates always above state. Subgroup performance improved broadly — low-income students rank in the 88th percentile, special education students 69th, and male, female, and White students in the 83rd–86th range. Compared with other nearby schools, Red Rock Central Secondary, Sleepy Eye Sec., Cedar Mountain Middle/High School, and Comfrey Secondary all score below state and below Springfield in all three subjects; Comfrey's grade-level data is largely suppressed by the state because of its small enrollment, so those values are unknown rather than zero.
