Reddick Elementary School

Summary:

Reddick Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Wimauma, Florida, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 794. The school is part of the Hillsborough School District, which is ranked 45 out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Reddick Elementary stands out for its significantly higher Hispanic student population (78.34%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 25-50% Hispanic students. The school has also experienced a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.1% in 2019-2020 to 36.2% in 2022-2023, much higher than the surrounding schools. Academically, Reddick's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are consistently lower than the Hillsborough district and Florida state averages across all grade levels, with only 25-33% of Reddick students proficient in ELA in 2023-2024, compared to 51-55% at the district and state levels. Additionally, Reddick has an exceptionally high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 77-95% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite Reddick's high per-student spending, which has increased from $9,962 in 2019-2020 to $10,806 in 2022-2023, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Florida elementary schools, with its ranking dropping from 1,442 out of 2,219 schools in 2021-2022 to 2,094 out of 2,256 schools in 2023-2024. The nearby schools, such as Rcma Wimauma Community Academy, Doby Elementary, and Thompson Elementary, generally perform better than Reddick on key metrics, suggesting that Reddick may face unique challenges in serving its student population.

The staff at this school are extremely rude. The principal is very absent and just overall my experience here has been a nightmare. The pick up and drop off lanes need major improvements. The school lacks of parent involvement and activities. It’s poorly managed. Close Quote

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.
