Summary

Springfield High School is a public high school serving 306 students in grades 9-12 in Springfield, Vermont. The school is part of the Springfield School District, which is ranked 72 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the past several years, Springfield High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Vermont high schools, with rankings ranging from 25th out of 60 schools in 2012-2013 to 42nd out of 49 schools in 2018-2019. The school's SchoolDigger rating has also been low, ranging from 0 to 3 stars out of 5, indicating below-average performance compared to other Vermont high schools. In contrast, the nearby Leland & Gray Union Middle & High School and Green Mountain Union High School have generally higher rankings and ratings.

Additionally, Springfield High School has faced significant challenges, including a four-year graduation rate around 74-82%, which is lower than the state average, and a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 13.8% in 2018-2019 to 50.1% in 2022-2023. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is also significantly below the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. These issues may be exacerbated by the high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 59.8% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2024-2025 school year.

Monday, December 4, 2023

I'm not pleased with how the school is treating my daughter who is a special needs student (she has an IEP) they don't communicate when I requested it, they belittle her and single her out.

I'm very appalled by the lack of professionalism that they have towards me as a parent. They don't have students safety in mind either. They protect the bully and punish the victim.

I don't recommend this school at all. Close Quote

I graduated high school in 2003. I was terminally ill during the 4 years I attended Springfield High School. Even though I was to sick to attend classes the school "pushed" me through them through the use of a school sponsored tutor. The only problem was the tutor was not qualified to teach. Most often there would actually be no lessons. When I brought this up to the current administration at the time I was told "you're going to die soon anyway, don't you at least want the distinction of graduating?" I was pushed through for 4 years because medical professionals told school officials I was dying. I was not actually given an education except on paper it appeared that I have. Springfield administration is only out for themselves as far as I am concerned. They used to have a few good teachers but most of them are gone. The administration is to busy jockeying for the next best thing. That school is a mess. Close Quote
