Summary:
Zip code 44442 is home to a single public high school: Springfield High School in New Middletown, Ohio, serving grades 9–12 with an enrollment of 243 students. It is part of the Springfield Local district. Because there is only one high school in this zip code, there is no in-area school-to-school comparison to make; the meaningful benchmarks are the district and the state of Ohio, and the data set provides both for nearly every measure, along with three years of state ranking history and two years of test results.
Springfield High School's strongest signal is its state ranking. In 2025–26 it placed 69th of 795 Ohio high schools — the 91st percentile — earning 5 stars, up from the 79th percentile (4 stars) the year before and the 71st percentile (4 stars) two years earlier. That is a 180-place climb over two years, with 108 of those places gained in the most recent year alone. The school's graduation rate is 100%, matching the district exactly. In 2025–26 its proficiency rate beat the state in all six tested End-of-Course subjects, with the widest margins in Geometry (79.7% versus the state's 43.3%), Algebra I (88.5% versus 61.6%) and American Government (93.5% versus 71.6%), and the narrowest in English II (74.3% versus 62.7%). About 81% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch and the student-teacher ratio is 11.5 to 1.
Two items are worth watching. English II is the school's lowest absolute proficiency and the only subject that fell — down 10.9 points while the state rate rose — a reversal from two years ago when it was the strongest subject relative to state. Chronic absenteeism is 11.3%, slightly above the district's 10.8% and the only measure where the school trails its district. Note also that with 243 students, single-year subject swings of 10–30 points can be statistically noisy, and the per-student spending figure of $11,955 dates to 2018–19 and is historical context only.
