Summary:

Springfield, Ohio is home to 10 high schools serving grades 6 through 12, with a combined enrollment of 6,059 students. Sizes vary widely: Springfield High School is the largest at 1,606 students, about 26.5% of the total, while Springfield City Online has just 13. The group includes three schools in Springfield City School District, several local district schools, and STEM, community, and online options. Reporting is uneven — nine schools report graduation and chronic absenteeism, six report 2025–26 End-of-Course tests, and only five report free/reduced lunch. Blank values are not reported, not zero.

Shawnee High School stands out with a 96.0% graduation rate, 17.4% chronic absenteeism, above-state proficiency in five subjects, and 90.9% in Integrated Math II versus the state's 35.3% — though its Algebra I was 56.7% against 61.6% statewide. Kenton Ridge Middle/High School improved from the 39th to the 68th percentile, with a 98.0% graduation rate and strong Biology (90.9%) and Algebra I (80.8%), but Geometry was 31.0% and absenteeism 30.9%. Northwestern Junior/Senior High School was above the state in all six common EOC subjects, with 95.3% graduation and 18.5% absenteeism. Global Impact STEM Academy has a 100.0% graduation rate and the lowest absenteeism at 16.1%, but its rank fell from the 58th to the 32nd percentile and math is weak.

Cliff Park High School shows the most severe outcomes: 30.1% graduation, 96.0% chronic absenteeism, a 44.6 ratio, and near-zero proficiency in several subjects. Buckeye Community School - Springfield has 34.3% graduation and 41.4% absenteeism. Springfield High has 49.7% absenteeism and below-state proficiency in every reported 2025–26 EOC subject. Math is the citywide weak spot: only Northwestern and Shawnee exceeded the state in Geometry, and only Kenton Ridge and Northwestern did so in Algebra I. Springfield-Clark County, Buckeye, and Springfield City Online lack test data, so they cannot be fully evaluated.
