Summary:
The Spring Hill School District in Arkansas consists of two schools: Spring Hill Elementary School and Spring Hill High School. While the high school has consistently performed well above the state average on standardized tests, the elementary school has struggled to match those achievements, particularly in mathematics.
Spring Hill High School stands out as the district's top performer, with strong results across multiple subjects and grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, the high school had 43.7% of students proficient or better in ATLAS/Mathematics, compared to the state average of 38.7%. The school also excelled in ATLAS/Science, with 61.5% of students proficient or better, well above the state average of 38.1%. In contrast, Spring Hill Elementary School has struggled, with proficiency rates in the 20-30% range in recent years for Mathematics, significantly below the state average around 40%.
The data also reveals differences in key metrics between the two schools. Spring Hill High School spends $8,701 per student, higher than the $7,716 spent per student at the elementary school. Additionally, the high school has a much lower student-teacher ratio of 6.6, compared to 16.4 at the elementary school. These disparities in resource allocation may be contributing to the performance gap between the two institutions.
