They act capable, but are absolutely not. Very disappointing that they don't have passionate and kind staff/leadership to go along with the newer building :/

"I have lived in Midtown's Historic District for 15 years and my husband has lived in this neighborhood for over 22 years. The schools are the best in Springfield! They are the only International Baccalaureate school in the city for gifted students. Beautiful historic neighborhood with an active neighborhood association that is close to public parks and pools, shopping, night life, restaurants, cafes, theatres, etc..."
