Springfield High School

Summary:

Springfield High School is a public high school located in Springfield, Ohio, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,516 students. The school is part of the Springfield City School District, which is ranked 700 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite serving a diverse student population, Springfield High School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Ohio high schools, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 5.9% in Geometry to 55.2% in American Government. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate, while above 80%, is still lower than the state average. Notably, the school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 33.1% in 2019-2020 to 63.5% in 2021-2022, which likely contributes to the school's academic challenges.

In comparison, the nearby Springfield-Clark County High School, located approximately 3.6 miles from Springfield High School, has a significantly different student demographic and academic performance profile. Springfield-Clark County High School has a student population that is 80.3% White, with lower percentages of African American and Hispanic students compared to Springfield High School. Additionally, Springfield-Clark County High School has a lower percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which likely contributes to its better academic outcomes. These differences highlight the need for Springfield High School to address issues of educational equity and provide targeted interventions to support all students, regardless of their background or learning needs.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
