Summary:
The Springfield School District in Vermont consists of 4 schools: 2 elementary schools (Elm Hill School and Union Street School), 1 middle school (Riverside Middle School), and 1 high school (Springfield High School). Overall, the district appears to be underperforming compared to state-wide metrics, with all schools ranking in the bottom half of their respective school types in Vermont.
The two elementary schools, Elm Hill School and Union Street School, rank in the bottom half of Vermont elementary schools, with Union Street School ranking 131 out of 137 schools in the 2024-2025 school year. Both schools have high chronic absenteeism rates (22.7% and 32.8% respectively) and low proficiency rates on state assessments. Riverside Middle School, the lone middle school, ranks 71 out of 74 Vermont middle schools in 2024-2025 and has very low proficiency rates across all grade levels and subject areas, as well as a high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.7%.
Springfield High School, the district's only high school, ranks 37 out of 42 Vermont high schools in 2024-2025 and has a low 4-year graduation rate of 82%. Its proficiency rates on state assessments are also well below the state averages. The high chronic absenteeism rates across the district, ranging from 22.7% to 50.1%, are a significant concern and likely contribute to the low academic performance. Additionally, the schools in the district serve a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 59.8% to 67.64%.
