How many students attend Springfield?

Springfield reported 23,670 students in 66 schools in the NCES Common Core of Data for 2025-2026.

How much does Springfield spend per student?

In the 2023-24 school year, Springfield spent $28,026 per student on current operations, compared with a Massachusetts average of $26,530.

What does per-pupil spending include?

It is current spending for elementary and secondary education divided by fall enrollment, as published by the Census Bureau. It includes instruction, support services such as transportation and administration, and other day-to-day costs. It leaves out capital outlay for buildings and interest on debt.

Why do some districts have no spending or poverty figures?

Charter districts, education service agencies and other special agencies often do not report finance data separately, and Census SAIPE estimates child poverty only for geographic school districts. Values are also hidden for districts with fewer than 50 students, where a per-pupil figure can swing widely.
