Summerfield Crossings Elementary School

Summary:

Summerfield Crossings Elementary School is a public elementary school in Riverview, Florida, serving 869 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Hillsborough County School District. The school faces several challenges, including a diverse and economically disadvantaged student population, consistently low academic performance, and increasing chronic absenteeism.

Summerfield Crossings has a more diverse student body compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of African American (30.15%) and Hispanic (35.67%) students. However, the school consistently underperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 5th-grade Science proficiency was 43%, compared to the district's 47% and the state's 53%. Additionally, Summerfield Crossings has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.9% in 2019-2020 to 31.9% in 2022-2023, which is much higher than the district and state averages.

Interestingly, the nearby Riverview Academy of Math and Science, a public charter school, outperforms Summerfield Crossings across various academic metrics. In 2023-2024, Riverview Academy had 62% 5th-grade Science proficiency, compared to Summerfield Crossings' 43%. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Summerfield Crossings, ranging from 53.05% to 65.08% over the past few years, suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may impact academic achievement and require additional resources and support.

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.
