Summary:

The Springfield, Ohio area is home to 28 schools — 15 elementary, 3 middle, and 10 high schools — serving about 14,447 students across the Springfield City School District and the surrounding Northeastern Local, Clark-Shawnee Local, and Northwestern Local districts, plus several charter, online, and career-focused programs. Springfield City School District is the largest system with 16 schools and about 6,944 students, and it is also the lowest-ranked district in the file at 704/773, 9th percentile, 0 stars.

The suburban local districts generally outperform Springfield City. Clark-Shawnee Local (266/773, 66th percentile, 3 stars) and Northeastern Local (360/773, 53rd percentile, 3 stars) rank highest, and their high schools post graduation rates above 95% — Kenton Ridge Middle/High School at 98.0%, Shawnee High School at 96.0%, and Northwestern Junior/Senior High School at 95.3% — compared with Springfield High School's 87.0%. Among elementary schools, Shawnee Elementary School has the lowest chronic absenteeism in the file at 12.9%, with Kenton Ridge Elementary and Snowhill Elementary School also posting solid results. Snowhill stands out within its district, with 18.6% chronic absenteeism versus the Springfield City rate of 34.7%.

Chronic absenteeism is the clearest warning sign. Cliff Park High School reports 96.0% chronic absenteeism, a 30.1% graduation rate, a 44.6 student-teacher ratio, and test scores such as 2.8% in English II. Springfield City Online has only 13 students, a 64.3% graduation rate, and 66.2% chronic absenteeism. Some cases are mixed: Global Impact STEM Academy has a 100.0% graduation rate and 16.1% chronic absenteeism, but weak math results and a rank decline from 58th to 32nd percentile. Middle-school Algebra I results — 100% at Roosevelt Middle School versus district 31.6% — likely reflect a small advanced cohort, since 8th-grade math at those schools remains very low. High poverty does not guarantee low achievement: Kenton Ridge Middle/High School has an 89.07% free/reduced-lunch rate yet ranks in the 68th percentile.
