Both of my Daughters attend Central and are in the IB programs, and have joined the A+ program. Both sing in the Choir and are members of the Kilties the oldest all female drum and bugle corps in the nation. Proud traditional values.
Posted by a parent on 8/31/2022Central is an amazing school. Both my girls have had nothing but incredible experiences at Central. Staff, teachers, and principals are incredible with the kids.
Posted by a parent on 10/18/2017We love Central! Wouldn't go anywhere else in Springfield. Very liberal school, which is a great fit for me and my family.
Posted by a community member on 5/26/2014The level of education at Central seems great at first. They have the IB program and are highly ranked nationally. The problem is that they spend too much time focusing on acceptance of liberal, worldly ideals. We are not a crazy right wing family but my son hated the widespread promotion of homosex
Posted by a parent on 5/31/2013Qualified students have the option to participate in the International Baccalaureate program, a rigorous college-prep curriculum.

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI would recommend this as one of the best elementary schools in Springfield. Small classes, caring teachers, walkable to neighbors in Woodland Heights, but without the endless busy-ness of a more affluent school. Our kids are flourishing and excelling academically. I credit this largely to the positive atmosphere that encourages a love of learning at his school.Parent Review6y ago - Boyd Elementary School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur overall experience at Weller has been great. The kids are rewarded for hard work, supported when they need it, engaged and enriched by genuine teachers, and cared for on a community level beyond what any other school we've attended has done. Before Weller, our kids were bogged down with homework, unhappy and mediocre in their studies, and we had no desire to be involved but now as PTO parents, with kids who are thriving and succeeding beyond the score charts, we couldn't be happier or more grateful for Weller Elementary.Parent Review7y ago - St. Joseph Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIt's so disappointing how this school has spiraled downward. The principle has made several changes that many parents are unhappy with. Parents input is ignored and several teachers have either left or been fired.Subsequently, parents have pulled their children out of St. Joseph and enrollment reflects this showing a 30% drop in the last two years.They have lost their Montessori preschool program and total enrollment looks like it will only go downward.Parent Review10y ago - St Agnes Elementary School
