Tampa Bay Boulevard Elementary School

Summary:

Tampa Bay Boulevard Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 480 students in grades PK-5 in Tampa, Florida, which is part of the Hillsborough School District. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (74.38%) and a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (76.46% to 93.5%).

Despite increased per-student spending and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Tampa Bay Boulevard Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of Florida elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on state assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 22-27% of the school's students were proficient in English Language Arts and Math, compared to 49-56% for the Hillsborough district and 53-60% for the state. This underperformance has persisted over the years, with no significant improvements observed.

Additionally, Tampa Bay Boulevard Elementary has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 12.7% in 2019-2020 to 37.1% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools, ranging from 21.7% to 56.6%. This high level of chronic absenteeism likely contributes to the school's academic struggles, as regular attendance is crucial for student learning and achievement. Addressing the unique challenges faced by this school, which serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, may be necessary to improve student outcomes and support the success of this community.

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.
