Senior High School High

This is a fabulous state of the art facility. Students are engaged in coursework as you walk the halls and peer in. Featuring an outstanding wide ranging course book, the high school is a very desirable place to be. I've been in many high schools. These guys are improving and getting the job done more each year. Springfield should come take a look - and be proud! Great stuff is happening here!

The Music program is amazing, the drill teams are also great, as well as the Sports program.

Parental involvement is very very poor, The students attitudes are generally very poor, The area is very low income and the city just really does not care. My son did very well at this school, His grades were great but that is because the school work was not at all up to par with the rest of the schools in ohio..

springfield high school is the worst school i have ever gone to. all the teachers are rude and unprofessional. discipline is considered more important than education. and truly the education given here is ridiculously low. i hav a teacher that told my class tht we were too stupid to be taught certain things so he didnt teach us.

SHS is much better than the '2 out of 10.' My kids attend challenging Advanced and AP/IB courses. Teachers are committed, and the district is working hard at continuous improvement. Students can go as far as they want to.

North is a school trying it's best with what it has. Sometimes it has problems with disruptive students but what school doesn't. That doesn't matter because north is now springfield high school!

North has moderate discipline and behavior problems, with incidents getting worse and greater in number in the past several years. A motivated student has to tolerate disruptive classes and more than several unprofessional teachers. Recent administration has been poor compared to years past.

I believe North is doing well at educating students, howevor the behavioral issues are never resolved. Its hard to spend seven hours a day somewhere with a negative atmosphere.

As an alumni of North High, I can testify that there is not a better school in the county. The teachers and administrators are top notch, and too often find themselves taking the blame for the lack of parental involvement. The quality of a childs education is ultimately the responsibility of the parent and the child, not the school system. The school system offers a broad range of programs that will ensure that a student is challenged and learns something. I am very satisfied with the quality of education I received from North High AND my parents. P.S. it is the parents job to disciple a child, never the teacher. Parents: take some accountibility, you brought this child into the world, not the school system.

Academic programs here are poor. Parents are not very involve overall, and extracurriculars are a luxury. Academics suffer due to lack of money.
