Springfield Gardens High School was a public 4–year high school located 143-10 Springfield Boulevard, in Springfield Gardens in the New York City borough of Queens. The school was opened in 1965. After years of poor performance, the school graduated its last class in June 2007. The school had poor test scores and a high drop-out rate. The school is now a complex made up of four other schools named Springfield Gardens Educational Campus. The schools are named Preparatory Academy for Writers, Queens Preparatory Academy, Excelsior Preparatory High School and George Washington Carver High School for the Sciences. The Preparatory Academy for Writers carries sixth and seventh graders and is the only school of the four currently taking junior high students.
