Bing Elementary School

Summary:

Bing Elementary School is a public elementary school in Tampa, Florida, serving 482 students in grades PK-5. 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.

Bing Elementary faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 42.4% to 47.6% over the past two years, which are much higher than the district and state averages. Academically, the school's performance is well below the district and state, with only 20% of 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 51-55% at the district and state levels. Additionally, Bing has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 80.08% to 94.34%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. As a result, Bing Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Florida elementary schools, with a 0-2 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Hillsborough School District, such as Desoto Elementary, Kenly Elementary, and Oak Park Elementary, also struggle with low academic performance and high rates of chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage, suggesting systemic challenges in this region. However, one notable exception is Winthrop Charter School, which consistently outperforms the district and state averages on academic measures, despite serving a diverse student population with a significant percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

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.
