Schools in Spring Hill, TN

Spring Hill, Tennessee, is served by 11 public schools—7 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 1 high school—enrolling about 7,800 students across two very different districts: the 5-star Williamson County Schools (ranked #3 of 141 in Tennessee) and the 2-star Maury County Schools (ranked #84 of 141). The top performers include Amanda H. North Elementary School, ranked #45 of 1,019 elementary schools with 82.3% math proficiency, and Summit High School, the city’s only high school, ranked #28 of 400 with a 95.6% graduation rate and 5-star rating. Battle Creek Elementary School is the most improved, jumping from the 56th to the 74th percentile with math proficiency rising from 45.6% to 59.6%. On the other end, Battle Creek Middle School is the area’s biggest concern, ranked #275 of 594 with just 19.1% of 8th graders proficient in ELA.

Academic outcomes align closely with district lines. Williamson County elementary schools—Longview Elementary School, Allendale Elementary School, Chapman's Retreat Elementary School, and Amanda H. North—average 74% math proficiency, while Maury County elementary schools—Battle Creek, Marvin Wright Elementary School, and Spring Hill Elementary School—average 57.5%. The gap widens in middle school: Spring Station Middle School (Williamson) posts 59.1% math and 50.3% ELA, while Spring Hill Middle School and Battle Creek Middle (Maury) average just 40.6% math and 36.4% ELA, below state averages. Maury County elementary schools, however, are bright spots—they beat their own district and state averages. Per-student spending tells a similar story: Williamson schools average $14,735 versus $12,365 in Maury County, though Spring Hill Elementary spends $15,298 yet still lags Williamson peers.

Chronic absenteeism rises sharply with grade level: Maury County middle schools run 15–17%, and Summit High is at 13.8%—nearly double the Williamson district average. Meanwhile, 8th grade is the weakest year citywide, with ELA proficiency at Battle Creek Middle (19.1%) and Spring Hill Middle (31.8%) far below earlier grades. Improvement and decline are also visible in rankings: Battle Creek Elementary and Spring Hill Elementary are climbing, while Battle Creek Middle, Spring Hill Middle, Marvin Wright, and Chapman's Retreat are slipping. The biggest takeaway for parents is that Spring Hill offers some of Tennessee’s best elementary schools, but middle school—especially in Maury County—is a critical intervention point. Choosing a side of the district boundary can dramatically shape a child’s academic trajectory.
