School Reviews

For the most part, the teachers and instruction at Springfield High School have been pleasant. However, the current leadership both at the school and district level has failed the students. Springfield Public Schools has made it evident that their priority is to graduate as many students as possible, rather than providing a quality education. In 2020 the district cut all challenging science programs. A group of high school students, parents and community members went to voice concerns about the change to the school board. The leadership did not listen to the community. Currently, there is no option for academic rigor in any science class. As a graduating senior, I feel completely unprepared for my next chapter at university. I understand that it is important to get kids graduated, however, that should not come at the expense of the high-achieving students.

I found the office staff to be unwilling to accommodate us when I took the time to go in at 3:30. We were told to come back the next day. Then she said she coundn't fing the other employee's paperwork, said she was tired and didn't have lunch. Said her computer had been turned off for the day. At that point I asked her if she was off the clock, and she sais no. So I expected her to be able to assist us. DISAPPOINTED!!!!
