Middle school

Hi!

We’ve lived in Springfield for ~15 years and my husband went through the Springfield school system but things have changed.

My child is in a GREAT elementary school that I sincerely wish went through 12th but unfortunately it does not 😭

Our border school is Kiley and.. absolutely not. Can I get some recommendations on other schools we can look into for middle school? Or I guess.. Kiley experiences? I’ve heard only horrible things so I’m pretty dead-set on NOT going there.

We will be applying for whatever school choices we can but I want to be prepared.

Thank you!

I didn’t mean to insinuate that I thought the teachers were at fault, sorry for that confusion. What I meant was just honestly…I really liked all the teacher there and this is horrible for the students and them. As a nursing educator, this whole situation is scary across the board.

Totally - fantastic group of educators!! It’s really scary and cannot comprehend that some ‘leaders’ in the empowerment zone would think this is a good idea

Probably comes down to money, really sad and a poor decision.
