Summary
Springfield School of Innovation is a small public high school serving grades 9–12 with 122 students in Springfield, OH, part of the Springfield City School District. Its most recent statewide rank is 652 of 795 Ohio high schools (18th percentile, 1 star), while the district ranks 704 of 773 (9th percentile, 0 stars). The school has improved from a very low base—from the 1st–3rd percentile in the late 2010s to the 18th–22nd percentile recently—but it remains in the bottom fifth of Ohio high schools, so it is progressing while still having substantial room to grow.
Its most distinctive feature is scale: 122 students and a reported student-teacher ratio of 6.1 in 2024–2025, far lower than Springfield High School (14.3), Greenon High School (15.2), Shawnee High School (16.2), and Kenton Ridge Middle/High School (19.0). That may allow more individual attention, but small cohorts can make year-to-year percentages volatile. Graduation and attendance trends are encouraging: the graduation rate rose from 52.8% in 2021–2022 to 86.1% in 2025–2026, close to the district’s 87.3%, and chronic absenteeism fell from 69.0% to 41.3%. Still, absenteeism remains above the Springfield City School District rate of 34.7% and much higher than nearby Northwestern Junior/Senior High School (18.5%), Shawnee High School (17.4%), and Greenon High School (26.4%).
Academically, results are mixed. Biology is a clear strength: 69.0% proficient in 2025–2026, above both the district and state, and up from 15.4% in 2022–2023. Math and English II remain the biggest gaps: Geometry, Algebra I, and English II each reached 33.3% proficiency. Geometry and Algebra I beat the district but trail the state, while English II is about half the state rate. Compared with Springfield High School, the school did better in Biology, Geometry, and Algebra I; compared with Global Impact STEM Academy, it was higher in Geometry but lower in English II, Government, History, and Algebra I. Data limitations matter: with only 122 students, single-year changes can be large, and some data are not reported.
