Summary:
ZIP code 45503 in Springfield, Ohio contains eight schools — four elementary, one middle, and three high schools — serving roughly 5,657 students across three district contexts: Springfield City School District (five schools), Northeastern Local (two schools), and Cliff Park High School (one school, with its own district field and no district rank). The ZIP is sharply split: Northeastern Local sits at the 53rd percentile of Ohio districts with 3 stars, while Springfield City sits at the 9th percentile with 0 stars.
The Kenton Ridge schools are the standout performers. Kenton Ridge Elementary has held 3 stars for three straight years and has the lowest chronic absenteeism in the ZIP at 16.0%, with 3rd-grade ELA at 78.5 versus the state's 63.4. Kenton Ridge Middle/High jumped from the 39th to the 68th percentile in a single year (3 stars), graduates 98.0% of its students, and beats the state in most End-of-Course exams, though Geometry lags at 31.0 versus 43.3.
Springfield City's five schools are all 1-star. Springfield High School is the largest at 1,606 students; its 87.0% graduation rate is close to the district's, but chronic absenteeism is 49.7% and every 2025-26 tested subject falls below state. Roosevelt Middle School posts the ZIP's most striking result — 100% Algebra I proficiency — despite low overall scores. Kent Elementary School shines in 5th-grade ELA (71.2, above state), Lagonda Elementary School has relatively low absenteeism (22.6%), and Warder Park-Wayne Elementary School ranks at the 12th percentile. Cliff Park High School is an extreme outlier: a 30.1% graduation rate, 96.0% chronic absenteeism, and a 44.6 student/teacher ratio. Free/reduced-lunch data is missing for all but one school, and spending figures date to 2018-19.
