Sports Leadership And Management Academy (Tampa)

Summary:

Sports Leadership And Management Academy (Tampa) is a public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in Tampa, Florida, with a student population of 434 and is part of the Hillsborough school district, which is ranked 45 out of 68 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (76.73%) compared to the surrounding schools, and has seen a steady improvement in its 4-year graduation rates, increasing from 82.4% in 2019-2020 to 93.2% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state and district averages. However, the school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 47.9% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools. Additionally, the school's test scores are consistently lower than the Hillsborough district and Florida state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates in Algebra 1 (38%), Geometry (30%), and 10th grade English Language Arts (32%) well below the district and state averages.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Steinbrenner High School, which is only 6.61 miles away and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, Sports Leadership And Management Academy (Tampa) performs significantly worse on standardized tests and has lower graduation rates. The school's high percentage of Hispanic students and high free/reduced lunch rate (60.6%) suggest that the student population may come from lower-income backgrounds, which could contribute to the school's academic challenges. Despite the school's higher spending per student ($9,449 in 2022-2023) compared to the district average, its academic performance still lags behind, raising questions about the effective use of resources and the need for targeted interventions to support student learning.

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.
