Summary

Springhill Elementary is a top-ranked K-5 public school serving 479 students in the high-performing Lafayette Elementary district in Lafayette, California.

The school consistently demonstrates academic excellence, with over 82% of students proficient in English and 85% in math, significantly outpacing state averages. It stands out for its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 2.3%—the best among local schools—and for its outstanding, state-ranked support for special education students. While Happy Valley Elementary currently leads the district in test scores, Springhill shows more balanced performance across grade levels and maintains a very high per-student spending level.

Springhill benefits from being part of the resource-rich Lafayette Elementary district, which spends far more per student than neighboring districts like Mt. Diablo Unified. This contributes to a significant performance gap; Lafayette district schools like Springhill, Burton Valley Elementary, and Lafayette Elementary average 80-88% proficiency in core subjects, while schools in other districts often average significantly less. A relative area for attention is science proficiency, where Springhill scores well above the state average but slightly trails some district peers.
