Summary

Springhill Lake Elementary is an elementary school located in Greenbelt, Maryland, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 757. It is part of the Prince George's County Public Schools district, which is ranked 22 out of 25 in Maryland and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Springhill Lake Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Maryland elementary schools, with low proficiency rates on state assessments. In 2024-2025, only 7.5% of Springhill Lake students were proficient or better in Math, compared to 26.5% statewide and 13.1% in the district. The school's English Language Arts (ELA) performance is also low, with only 17.2% of students proficient or better, compared to 50.8% statewide and 38.3% in the district. Additionally, Springhill Lake has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 31.5% to 42.2% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state and district averages.

While Springhill Lake Elementary has relatively high spending per student, ranging from $19,325 to $23,432 over the past few years, this does not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes. Nearby schools, such as Robert Frost Elementary, Magnolia Elementary, and Vansville Elementary, generally perform better than Springhill Lake on academic measures, but also face challenges with high rates of chronic absenteeism and high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. In contrast, the nearby Dora Kennedy French Immersion magnet school significantly outperforms Springhill Lake and the other nearby schools, suggesting that specialized curriculum and instructional approaches may be more effective in supporting student learning and achievement.
