"College students occasionally loud and irresponsible at 3am. I have a sketchy brothel a few doors down from me. Otherwise quaint and convenient. "

"Don't let crime statistics scare you, the Mercy ER is very nearby which receives lots of mandatory reports that often skew crime statistics. Phelps Grove park is in easy walking distance. Other places you can walk to include Starbucks, Bass Pro, a grocery store and Sunshine Grade School. This neighborhood could easily be considered the center of town, nearly everything Springfield has to offer is within a 5 minute drive. The neighborhood itself is very quiet. The homes vary from quaint to fabulous and tenants consist mostly of older couples or professionals. There are very few rentals."

Both of my kids went to this school. Four to five years ago this was a great school with great caring teachers and I feel like the school was much more family oriented. Around the time that this school was remodeled and blended with Portland staff and students and after Covid I feel like we lost about half of the good caring teachers and staff. We did add a handful of good , new, young teachers but some of the teachers there seem burnt out and don’t seem to care or put much effort into teaching anymore. This has really hurt the kids that fell behind during Covid because it seems like a he money this school has been given has been used on making it look prettier but not on getting the extra help and the resources that these kids actually need to try and get them back on track and where they need to be. Five years ago I talked about how much we loved this school and would recommend it to anyone. I don’t feel this way anymore.
