Springfield Conservatory of the Arts achieves perfect graduation rate

The Springfield Conservatory of the Arts has achieved a perfect graduation rate for two consecutive years. Principal Ryan Kelly credits the school's small size and focus on creative classes, fostering a strong community among students. The school, which opened in 2014, moved to a renovated historic building five years ago, allowing for better facilities and collaboration among students. With a current enrollment of over 300, the school emphasizes arts education alongside traditional subjects. Recent changes include outreach to elementary schools to attract students interested in the arts. The school serves many low-income families, providing opportunities for students with little prior experience in music, dance, or visual arts.
