Summary:
Springfield, Oregon has five high schools — Springfield High School, Thurston High School, Willamette Leadership Academy, Academy of Arts and Academics, and Gateways High School — all in Springfield School District 19, which ranks 92 of 141 Oregon districts (35th percentile, 2 stars). Four serve grades 9–12; Willamette Leadership Academy serves grades 6–12, so its all-grade scores include middle school students. Total enrollment is 3,034, but sizes are very uneven: Springfield (1,229) and Thurston (1,215) together hold about 80.6% of students, while Willamette (258), Academy of Arts and Academics (231), and Gateways (101) are much smaller.
Academy of Arts and Academics is the clear standout, ranking 75 of 271 (72nd percentile, 4 stars) — the only school here in the top quartile. It has a 100.0% graduation rate, 66.7% ELA proficiency, and 34.7% science proficiency, all well above district and state averages. Its math proficiency, however, is under 5%, far below the state's 32.9% all-grade and 22.9% 11th-grade averages. Thurston has strong graduation (90.4%) and science (31.1%), but its rank slipped to the 24th percentile (1 star) and math sits at 11.4%. Springfield High, the largest school, graduates 83.9% of students with 25.1% ELA, 21.5% math, and 23.3% science.
Willamette Leadership Academy ranks 266 of 271 (2nd percentile, 0 stars), with 81.0% graduation, 15% ELA, math under 5%, science 6.4%, and the city's highest student-teacher ratio (28.6). Gateways is the smallest school, with the lowest graduation rate (30.6%), the highest chronic absenteeism (73.7%), and test scores the state suppressed, so its proficiency is unknown, not zero. Chronic absenteeism is high everywhere: every school exceeds the state's 33.5%, ranging from Academy's 40.0% to Gateways' 73.7%. Math is the citywide weak spot — no school with a reported score reached the state average.
