We moved to this area from NJ because of this school district. In the 12 years that we have been here, we have NEVER been disappointed.
Springfield is a great school district because the teachers care about you as a person aswell as a teacher, everyone is really friendly and you feel safe going to school. The one thing I would change would be the variety of classes because there seems to be more art classes than anything else and you end up having to take an art class even if you aren’t majoring in art.
Very good and welcoming. Very protective of the community and students and staff. Great friends and memories. The staff is nice and makes education and learning enjoyable.
