Chamberlain High School

Summary:

Chamberlain High School is a public high school in Tampa, Florida, serving 1,262 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Hillsborough School District, which is ranked 45 out of 68 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Chamberlain High School faces significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Florida high schools and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's four-year graduation rate has declined from 86.4% in 2019-2020 to 78.2% in 2022-2023, well below the state and district averages. Additionally, Chamberlain has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 51.3%, significantly higher than the state and district. Students at Chamberlain also consistently score well below the state and district averages on standardized tests, with only 18% proficient or better in Algebra 1 compared to 56% in the Hillsborough district and 55% statewide. The school's high poverty rate, with 72.19% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to these challenges.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Leto High School, Chamberlain consistently underperforms on key metrics. Leto, also in the Hillsborough district, has a significantly higher four-year graduation rate of 92.7% and better test scores across various subjects. The high chronic absenteeism rate at Chamberlain is not unique, as several nearby schools, including Carver Exceptional Center and Seminole Heights Charter High School, also struggle with this issue. Addressing the challenges at Chamberlain High School will require targeted interventions and support to improve academic performance, graduation rates, and student engagement.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
