Summary:
There is only one middle school located in the 45503 zip code - Roosevelt Middle School, which is part of the Springfield City School District. The school's performance has been declining over the past three years, with a consistent 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and a statewide ranking that has dropped from 869 out of 1,048 Ohio middle schools in 2022-2023 to 845 out of 1,036 in 2024-2025.
Roosevelt Middle School faces significant challenges, with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 39.0% and test scores that are well below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 8th grade science proficiency was 26.9% compared to the state average of 63%, and its 7th grade math proficiency was 19.1% compared to the state average of 50%. However, the school's Algebra I proficiency rate is higher than the district and state averages, at 87.5% compared to 29.3% and 59.4%, respectively.
Despite the school's low student-teacher ratio of 11.3, which is lower than the state average, the resources do not appear to be translating into better academic achievement for students. The school's overall performance is likely contributing to the low ranking of the Springfield City School District, which could have broader implications for the community. Further investigation may be needed to understand the root causes of the school's challenges and identify potential areas for improvement.
