Summary

Springhill Elementary School in Alexander, AR, is a K-5 school with 551 students in the highly-rated Bryant School District, which ranks in the top 20% of Arkansas districts. Historically a top-tier school, Springhill has seen a notable decline in its state ranking over the past two years, dropping from the top 5% to the top 26% of schools, a shift that stands out among nearby high-performing schools.

One key factor is Springhill’s low rate of economic disadvantage—only 37.93% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, compared to 44.99% at Salem Elementary School and 73.67% at Hill Farm Elementary School, both in the same district. Despite this advantage, Springhill’s recent performance lags behind Salem, which has maintained a more stable ranking. The school also shows a “two-speed” academic profile: 3rd graders outperform district and state averages in reading (60% vs. 51.6% district), but 4th graders fall below the district in both reading (42.2% vs. 47.1%) and math (51.9% vs. 59.2%). This suggests a specific challenge with the 4th-grade cohort that warrants attention.

Even with its dip, Springhill still outperforms schools in neighboring districts, such as Pine Haven Elementary School in the Bauxite School District and Otter Creek Elementary School in the Little Rock School District, by wide margins in math and reading. Per-student spending at Springhill ($11,644) is mid-range for the district, indicating funding isn’t the issue. For parents, this school offers a strong foundation with a history of excellence, but recent trends suggest a need to investigate how the 4th-grade program is supported to ensure all students thrive.

This is an amazing school! The teachers genuinely care about each of their students, the principal, Mrs. Metcalf, is exceptionally good at her job, and the entire staff caters to the needs of the students. I have been very impressed with Springhill Elementary, and will send my children their when they are old enough to start school. Close Quote
