Corr Elementary faces significant challenges, with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 26% to 38% over the past few years. The school also consistently underperforms compared to the Hillsborough district and Florida state averages on standardized tests, with only 40% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA in 2023-2024, compared to 51% in the district and 55% statewide. Additionally, Corr Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 65.63% to 82.83%, much higher than the district and state averages. As a result, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of Florida elementary schools, with a 1-star or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Interestingly, Corr Elementary's performance is generally lower than the nearby schools in the Hillsborough district, such as Creekside Charter Academy, Summerfield Crossings Elementary, and Riverview Academy of Math and Science, which all outperform Corr Elementary on test scores and have lower chronic absenteeism rates. Despite increased spending per student at Corr Elementary, from $9,926 in 2019-2020 to $12,088 in 2022-2023, this has not translated into improved academic outcomes, suggesting that targeted interventions and support focused on improving attendance, academic instruction, and family engagement may be crucial in helping the school improve its performance.
