Summary

Pittsburgh Spring Hill K-5 is an elementary school in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 120 students. The school is part of the Pittsburgh School District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past several years, Pittsburgh Spring Hill K-5 has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with a ranking between 1,200-1,500 out of around 1,500 schools.

The school's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts (ELA) consistently lagging behind the district and state averages. For the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 24.5% in Math and 24.6% in ELA, compared to the district's 27.9% and 39.3%, and the state's 41.7% and 48.5%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 1% of Pennsylvania elementary schools for White students and in the bottom 10% for students of low socioeconomic status.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Pittsburgh Weil K-5 and Pittsburgh Woolslair K-5, which are both within 1.7 miles of Pittsburgh Spring Hill K-5, it becomes clear that the school is among the lowest-performing in the district. This persistent underperformance, coupled with the school's high-poverty student population and fluctuating spending per student, suggests that significant interventions and support may be needed to address the systemic challenges facing the school.
