Springfield Legacy Academy in Springfield, Massachusetts ranks first among middle schools in Springfield with a Success Index (US) of 85.9 out of 100 (Enrollment: 299).
How are middle schools in Springfield ranked?

Are these 2025 rankings official?
No. They are computed by Success Tutoring from official American data (Urban Institute Education Data Portal (NCES CCD, EDFacts); NCES Common Core of Data).
