Summary

Springhill School is a small elementary school in Belgrade, MT, serving grades PK-8 with just 16 students. Despite its small size, this school consistently outperforms the state and nearby schools in academic achievement, making it an exceptional educational option for families in the area.

Springhill School has a long history of strong performance, ranking as high as 2nd out of 287 Montana elementary schools in 2014-2015 and maintaining a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade. In the 2024-2025 school year, 70% of Springhill students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of just 43.09%. In Mathematics, an impressive 80% of Springhill students were proficient or better, far exceeding the state average of 36.77%. This high academic achievement is likely supported by the school's low student-teacher ratio, which ranges from 7.5 to 9.5 students per teacher, and its higher-than-average spending of $12,082 per student.

When compared to nearby schools, Springhill School's performance is truly exceptional. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Whittier School had 35.45% proficiency in ELA, Hawthorne School had 77.59%, and Meadowlark Elementary had 51.28%. This suggests that Springhill School is providing a superior educational experience for its students, likely due to its small size, individualized attention, and strong funding from the Springhill Elementary District.
