Springfield High School

Summary:

Springfield High School is a public high school serving 1,223 students in grades 9-12 in Springfield, Tennessee, which is part of the Robertson County School District. The school has seen a shift in its student population, with a decrease in White students and an increase in Hispanic students in recent years.

Academically, Springfield High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Tennessee high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on state assessments is generally lower than the Robertson County and Tennessee state averages, particularly for African American, Hispanic, and Special Education students. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 20.6% of 10th-grade students were proficient or better in Biology I, compared to 34.6% in Robertson County and 36.5% statewide.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Jo Byrns High School and East Robertson High School, Springfield High School generally performs worse on state assessments and has a lower overall ranking. The performance gap becomes even more pronounced when compared to higher-performing schools in other districts, such as Beech Senior High School and Sycamore High School. Addressing these issues should be a priority for the school and district to ensure all students at Springfield High School receive a high-quality education.

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.
