Summary:
The 33619 zip code area of Tampa, Florida is home to 14 schools serving a diverse range of students, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 4 high schools, and 3 alternative schools. While the schools in this area face significant challenges, such as high rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism, a few standout institutions are making strides in academic achievement.
Progress Village Middle Magnet is a shining example, with the highest test scores in the area, including 86% proficiency in Algebra 1 and 76% proficiency in Civics, far exceeding the Hillsborough district and state averages. In contrast, Idea Hope, a public charter school serving grades K-12, struggles with a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 58.4%, despite performing better than the overall Idea Public Schools network.
The data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the schools, with some, like Dowdell Middle Magnet School, excelling in Algebra 1 but struggling in other subjects. Meanwhile, schools like Lamb Elementary and Bing Elementary School have very low proficiency rates, highlighting the challenges faced by high-poverty schools in the area. The specialized alternative and juvenile justice-focused schools, such as Columbus Residential Juvenile Facility and Hillsborough Girls Academy, serve unique populations with their own set of needs and outcomes.
