GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I have grown up in this school district. I've loved it growing up and I made many friends. I had teachers who I really liked and would love to just sit and talk. Although our school struggles, we always find a way to make it work. It's like a big family. Everybody has their differences and at Shs there are many clubs that help us express who we are. This school will always be the school that I have grown to love and cherish.

I believe that the teachers do the best they can to make sure every student is getting the attention and help that they need. They do a good job relating and interacting with the student. Some of the sports programs are very successful but others are not. Overall I enjoyed attending Springfield High School.

My experience with this high school was pretty unique. I met some great teachers who I could ask for advice academically or personally. The school is very humble and there is a great effort to provide a safe experience.

The school has various physical problems with it that span from bad plumbing to filthy environments....

I had bought a house in Ellet, but after having children, we decided to move back to Springfield so our kids could go to these wonderful schools. Very happy to be pa...
