Henderson Hammock Charter School

Q: Is Henderson Hammock Charter School a good school?

Henderson Hammock Charter School ranks 1680 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Henderson Hammock Charter School is an elementary school serving 1,157 students in grades K-8 in Tampa, Florida, which is part of the Hillsborough school district. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population (84.44%) and a high percentage of students (over 80%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Academically, Henderson Hammock Charter School consistently outperforms the Hillsborough district and the state of Florida in several key test score metrics, including End-of-Course (EOC) exams, 5th and 8th grade Science, and 3rd-8th grade English Language Arts and Math. However, the school faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, which have been increasing over time and are much higher than nearby schools like Westchase Elementary School, Crestwood Elementary School, and Citrus Park Elementary School.

While Henderson Hammock Charter School's spending per student has increased from $7,011 in 2019-2020 to $8,392 in 2022-2023, its student-teacher ratio has also increased from 17.8 to 21.4 during the same period, which may be contributing to the high chronic absenteeism rates. Overall, the school appears to be a strong academic performer, but it faces challenges in addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates among its predominantly economically disadvantaged student population.

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.
