Springbrook High School is an American public high school, located in unincorporated Montgomery County, Maryland. It is located within the White Oak census-designated place, and has a Silver Spring mailing address. It is between the Colesville and White Oak communities.
Springbrook is a member of Montgomery County's Northeast Consortium, a program composed of Springbrook, James Hubert Blake and Paint Branch High Schools that allows students from Ashton, Burnt Mills, Burtonsville, Calverton, Cloverly, Colesville, Fairland, Spencerville, Southern Olney, Hillandale, and White Oak to choose between the three schools.
The school was constructed in 1960, and named after the upper Northwest Branch spring-fed tributary that runs next to its property. Springbrook was renovated in the early 1990s and reopened in 1994. As of 2011[update], the school holds 1,736 students.
Newsweek magazine's 2008 high school rankings put Springbrook 304 out of the top 1,300 public high schools in the United States. Newsweek's list of top public schools were selected from over 27,000 public high schools nationwide. Only seven of the 23 public high schools in Montgomery County, Maryland, were rated ahead of Springbrook in the 2008 rankings.
Springbrook draws its students from Montgomery County's Northeast Consortium, a population that is also served by two other public high schools, Blake and Paint Branch, which Newsweek ranked 338 and 418 respectively.
