Summary:
Springfield City School District serves 6,944 students across 16 schools — 10 elementary (K–6), 3 middle (7–8), and 3 high schools, including two 9–12 campuses and one 8–12 online school. As a district it ranks 704th of 773 Ohio districts, at the 9th percentile with 0 stars, so families should expect large differences between individual schools rather than one district-wide experience.
Snowhill Elementary School is the district standout: 35th percentile, 2 stars, the lowest chronic absenteeism at 18.6%, and above-district results in every reported elementary subject, including 5th Grade Science 67.3% and 5th Grade Math 57.1%. Kenton Elementary School (25th percentile, 1 star) posts 5th Grade ELA 71.2%, above the state's 70.4%, while Lagonda Elementary School pairs the second-lowest absenteeism (22.6%) with solid 3rd and 4th grade math. Among older grades, Springfield School of Innovation has the best high-school rank and Roosevelt Middle School the best middle-school rank; Roosevelt reports 100% Algebra I proficiency and Hayward Middle School 76.9%, likely small advanced-math cohorts rather than broad math success. At the other end, Lincoln Elementary School and Fulton Elementary School sit at the 4th percentile with 0 stars.
Chronic absenteeism ranges from 18.6% at Snowhill to 66.2% at Springfield City Online, against a district rate of 34.7%; secondary schools generally run higher, with Springfield High School at 49.7%. Graduation rates look stronger than test scores: 87.3% district-wide, 87.0% at Springfield High, and 86.1% at the School of Innovation. Proficiency gaps to the state are severe, especially 8th grade math (12.0% vs 52.0%) and 5th grade math (20.4% vs 59.1%). Free/reduced lunch data is missing for every school, and the online school has no test-score or staffing data, so those figures should be treated as unknown.
