Summary:
The city of Springfield, Vermont is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Springfield School District. The data reveals a mixed picture, with some standout performers like Elm Hill School, but also significant challenges in terms of equity and academic achievement across the district.
Elm Hill School is one of the higher-performing elementary schools, ranking in the top half of Vermont elementary schools in recent years. The school has a relatively low percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 47.18% and a low student-teacher ratio of 15.7, which may contribute to its better performance. In contrast, Riverside Middle School and Union Street School rank near the bottom of their respective categories, with high free/reduced lunch rates suggesting they serve more economically disadvantaged student populations.
While Springfield High School is not the highest-performing high school in the state, it does have some positive metrics, including a slightly above-average 11th-grade science proficiency rate and a lower student-teacher ratio of 12.3 compared to the other schools. However, the district as a whole faces concerning trends, with all schools performing below the statewide averages in the subjects and grade levels reported, indicating a need for targeted interventions and support to help improve student outcomes across the Springfield School District.
