I attended Springfield High School all four years and graduated on time. My Senior year I had to take an independent study writing class because the school literally didn't have any writing classes left that I could take. My counselor told me they expected me to fail at least once.

There are 1500 students at this school. It is impossible for the teachers and administrators to keep on top of all of them. That means that students need to learn to speak up, and parents/guardians need to ask a lot of questions. I did a lot of assuming that it was the school's job to teach my kids and my job to just make sure they went to school. I was wrong. I had to bridge the gap between my kids and the school. For example; my daughter was not doing well in math. She didn't think the teacher was helpful at all. I scheduled an appointment with the teacher, and we were able to access additional resources that my daughter didn't want to use, but needed, in order to pass the class. That involved moving around her other classes, which was not something the counselor was too excited about doing but understood that it needed to be done. If there are issues - don't just take your kid's word for it (they aren't adults), and don't just take the school's word (they don't know your kid like you do).

I've never felt so much of a need to not wake up in the morning. I am a grade A student who has already gotten accepted to college, this school has all but made me lose hope in my academic studies and the hope I had is all but lost. I would HIGHLY recommend not going to this lazy excuse of a school. Take this from a class of 2018 student.

This school has a problem with drugs and fighting. They do not deal with fights fairly. You can send a good child there with Straight A's and in two years that same child wants to give up in life. There is also a lot of racism in the school especially if you are black. I have seem several damaged kids at this school. My heart breaks for the children going to school there.

I absolutely love and miss this school! I went here as a freshman and everyone is so nice and the teachers are the best because they like to have fun with their students. Go Millers!
