About the Report
The Springfield Public School District is fully committed to open, two-way communication
with staff, parents of our students, and all citizens who are concerned about education.
Our continued commitment to meeting this goal is the reason for the annual report.
The district annual report has been produced every year since 1986. It was expanded
in 1996 to meet state public reporting requirements for all school districts in Missouri at
that time. The report includes student enrollment numbers, attendance figures, and
high school dropout rates. Also included is data about the amount of state and federal
aid received by our district and the number of students who qualified for free and
reduced lunch. In addition, tax information and statistics about teaching and
administrative staff, average salaries earned, and percentage of teachers with
advanced degrees are also provided for individual school buildings within the district.

GRADUATION RATE
GRADUATING CLASSES OF 2021 AND 2022
Four-Year Graduation Rate: Percentage of freshmen students who graduate in four years with a regular high school diploma. From
the beginning of ninth grade, students who are entering ninth grade for the first time form a cohort. The cohort is subsequently
"adjusted" by adding any students who transfer into the cohort at any point before graduation and subtracting any students who
transfer out.
Five-Year Graduation Rate: The five-year graduation rate is calculated the same as the four-year with the exception that it includes
both four and five-year graduates in the fifth-year cohort.

MISSOURI SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (MSIP) 6
View 2021-2022 MSIP6 results for Springfield Public Schools. Click Here
The sixth version of the Missouri School Improvement Program (MSIP 6), the state’s accountability
system for reviewing and accrediting public school districts, is focused on continuous improvement for
all schools, the preparation of each student for life beyond high school, and promoting practices that
lead to healthy school systems. MSIP 6 will take a closer look at what districts are doing to implement
effective practices and sustain improvements, while increasing the focus on individual student growth.
The comprehensive MSIP accountability system was established in 1990 and has evolved with each
version. After more than two years of discussion, work, and review by educators and practitioners
around the state, the State Board of Education approved the MSIP 6 Standards and Indicators in
February 2020. These Standards and Indicators are designed to establish a new method for the state
to determine the extent to which students are meeting the Missouri Learning Standards and obtaining
necessary skills and knowledge. During this two-year period, over 6,000 comments were received
from stakeholders including teachers and administrators.
MSIP 6 is intended to distinguish the performance of schools and districts in valid, accurate, and
meaningful ways so that districts can continue to improve and identify areas of excellence. To this
end, the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) will produce an
Annual Performance Report (APR) for districts and schools across the state, which will be used to
inform accreditation and classification decisions. Indicators evaluated on the MSIP 6 APR are divided
into two sections: Performance metrics, which measure student outcomes, and Continuous
Improvement metrics, which assess the quality of the work of the LEA toward improving the
opportunities provided to all students.
As of the publication of this report, the 2022 APR and supporting data have not been made available
to districts or the public.

CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT PLAN
SPRINGFIELD PUBLIC SCHOOLS STRATEGIC PLAN
Educational reform efforts over the past decade have highlighted the need for public education to
produce and showcase quantifiable results on tests and other measures of achievement. Research
literature indicates that educational performance is heightened when individuals understand what is to
be measured and why. Such a process is commonly referred to as “accountability.” An accountability
process that measures progress is a good tool, but it cannot be an end unto itself—it must result in
improvements. Research indicates customers of educational systems are interested in how students
and schools are performing and improving, and finding out what promotes student learning.
The accountability goal of the Springfield Public School District is to systematically set goals, define
strategies to reach those goals, and monitor progress in achieving goals. The commitment of
Springfield Public Schools to continuous improvement is reflected in the accountability process. A
comprehensive accountability process provides continuous feedback to help school leaders
systematically investigate which elements help school professionals and students perform more
effectively.
The school district has four priority areas:
1. Success-Ready Students
2. Organizational Efficiency
3. Collaborative Culture
4. Quality Learning Environments
The district has also identified performance indicators critical to meeting district goals that are
embedded within each of the aforementioned focus areas. These indicators help the district know
what must be done to be considered successful by the public it serves. To accomplish this end,
performance measurements have been established to ensure expectations are met and ensure the
district’s commitment to continuous improvement.

In December 2006, the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) made changes to data
collection requirements for children with disabilities in Early Childhood Special Education
(ECSE). The ECSE program now reports the “total educational environment” for each identified
child in the program. Following is the listing of educational environments which are used in state
reporting. (These educational environments do not replace the placement decisions made by
the IEP team and documented on the IEP).
