The schools in the 01107 zip code serve a predominantly Hispanic student population, with the percentage of Hispanic students ranging from 62% to 85% across the different schools. The spending per student varies from $17,430 to $19,925, with the exception of Springfield Public Day Middle School, which has a significantly higher spending of $38,119 per student.
