Summary:
ZIP code 97477 covers 12 schools — six elementary, two middle, and four high schools — all within Springfield School District 19, serving roughly 4,767 students in the Springfield, Oregon area. The district ranks 92nd of 141 in Oregon (35th percentile, 2 stars), so many schools here fall below district and state averages, but there are real bright spots.
The strongest performers are Academy of Arts and Academics, with 66.7% ELA proficiency, 34.7% science, and a 100% graduation rate — though its math proficiency is under 5%, making its profile very uneven. Briggs Middle School far outpaces Hamlin Middle School (ELA 51.4% vs 24.8%; science 40.8% vs 14.9%) despite similar spending and a slightly higher student-teacher ratio. Yolanda Elementary School is the top elementary: ELA 44.8%, math 33.0% (just above the state's 32.9%), and the ZIP's lowest chronic absenteeism at 32.0%. Centennial Elementary School posts strong 3rd-grade results (ELA 50%, math 55.6%) but 5th-grade math falls to 9.3%, while Maple Elementary School and Guy Lee Elementary School have improved but remain below median.
Areas to watch: math is the weakest subject across the ZIP, elementary science is below the state's 30.6% in every elementary school, and most schools exceed the state chronic absenteeism rate of 33.5%. Gateways High School has the lowest graduation rate (30.6%) and highest absenteeism (73.7%); Willamette Leadership Academy sits at the 2nd percentile with math under 5%; and Hamlin Middle School ranks in the 9th percentile with 0 stars. Notably, spending and class size do not line up neatly with outcomes.
