Summary

Battle Creek Elementary School is a public school in Spring Hill, TN, serving 682 students in grades PK-4 within Maury County Schools, and it has earned a 4-star rating with a 74th-percentile state rank (260th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools). Academically, Battle Creek Elementary outperforms both its district and the state across all three tested subjects: 59.6% of students are proficient in math (vs. 38.1% district and 43.0% state), 51.2% in English Language Arts (vs. 35.1% district and 40.6% state), and 53.2% in science (vs. 39.2% district and 46.9% state). The school also stands out for attendance, with a 10.0% chronic absenteeism rate—well below the 17.8% district and 18.3% state averages—and for cost efficiency, spending $11,307 per pupil, less than every comparable nearby school.

Within Maury County, Battle Creek Elementary is part of a high-performing Spring Hill cluster. It essentially matches Spring Hill Elementary in math (59.6% vs. 59.2% proficient) and surpasses Marvin Wright Elementary in math and science. The contrast with Columbia-area schools is dramatic: Riverside Elementary posts just 6.7% math proficiency and R. Howell Elementary 22.0%, while Battle Creek Elementary sits at 59.6%. Nearby Williamson County Schools—such as Thompson's Station Elementary—remain a different stratosphere, with proficiency rates roughly 10–25 percentage points higher, reflecting a significant resource gap (Williamson County is ranked #3 in Tennessee vs. Maury County at #84).

Battle Creek Elementary's upward trajectory is rapid: it climbed from the 48th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 74th percentile in 2025–2026, with math proficiency surging from 36.2% to 59.6%. Subgroup data shows strong results for Hispanic students (74th percentile) and White students (70th), while low-income students are improving sharply (43rd percentile, up from 18th). However, English Language Learner students rank at just the 14th percentile, and special education students have fallen from the 73rd to the 22nd percentile. With 4th grade ELA at 48.4% proficiency, literacy instruction in upper grades appears to be the school's next target for improvement.

Open Quote Wonderful school with competent and professional staff. This school is unique as each grade is organized into separate pods with each grade having multiple classrooms and a common area where group activities can be done. Excellent education and I haven’t heard of any bullying. Highly recommend. Close Quote
