According to data released Friday, the Springfield School District failed to make adequate yearly progress (AYP) on its PSSAs for the 2011-12 school year.
According to the state Department of Education, every school in the Springfield District made all of its AYP goals except for the high school, and the high school met nine of its 11 goals.
Despite the overall success by the district, the state still gives the district a warning notifying the administration that the district must improve.
