Ippolito Elementary School

Summary:

Ippolito Elementary School is a public elementary school in Riverview, Florida, serving 553 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Hillsborough County School District. While the school shares the same district and overall rating as nearby schools, it consistently underperforms academically and faces significant challenges in student engagement and attendance.

Ippolito Elementary has a notably higher percentage of African American (41.23%) and Hispanic (35.8%) students compared to nearby schools, which tend to have a more balanced racial distribution. The school also struggles with chronic absenteeism, with rates ranging from 38% to 50.7% over the past few years, significantly higher than the 14.7% to 46.8% range of nearby schools. Academically, Ippolito consistently underperforms the Hillsborough County and Florida state averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates as low as 28% in 3rd grade ELA and 30% in 4th grade ELA, compared to the district's 51% and 49% respectively.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 69.8% to 85.99%, suggests that the school serves a predominantly disadvantaged population. While Ippolito's per-student spending is comparable to or higher than nearby schools, it continues to lag behind in academic performance. Schools like Riverview Academy Of Math And Science and Winthrop Charter School, also in the Hillsborough district, have significantly higher proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism, indicating that Ippolito may have opportunities to improve through targeted interventions and support systems.

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.
