Summary:
The 05156 zip code is home to a single high school, Springfield High School, which serves students in grades 9-12 within the Springfield School District. While the school has seen fluctuating performance in recent years, it faces challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement and addressing the needs of its student population, which has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Springfield High School's performance, as measured by its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating, has been inconsistent, ranking 37th out of 42 high schools in 2024-2025, 32nd out of 47 in 2023-2024, and 35th out of 37 in 2021-2022. The school's proficiency rates in VTCAP/English Language Arts (13.92%), VTCAP/Mathematics (28.21%), and VTCAP/Science (37.1%) for the 2024-2025 school year are all below the state average of 44.46% for the science assessment, indicating a need to focus on improving student learning and academic outcomes in these subject areas.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $15,979 for the 2018-2019 school year, the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (59.8%) suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges. This may have implications for the school's resources, support systems, and strategies for addressing the needs of its student population. Overall, the data suggests that Springfield High School faces some challenges in maintaining consistent academic performance and addressing the needs of its student population, and targeted interventions may be necessary to help the school improve its outcomes.
