4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI remember when I went here and it was wonderful. And it still is. My 13 year old niece goes here and she loves it! She is always talking about how she is learning so much and how wonderful the teachers are. Many of my friends used to go as well and loved it.Other Review1y ago - Springfield High School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is a joke. They call or send out letters about things that convenience them but they expect you to remember that you need a doctor note for being absent since it’s in the handbook that you get during registration at the beginning of the year. I work full time go to school full time and am a full time mother. I don’t remember everything. So now my daughter’s assignments are getting F’s on them because she has to go to an appointment because you guys said she has to have this vaccine, be for real. This is absolutely ridiculous you need to do better. My baby is a straight A student and this is her 1st year here. We should have stayed in Chatham.Parent Review2mo ago
