Summary

Lowry Elementary School is a public elementary school in Tampa, Florida, serving 792 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Hillsborough School District, which is ranked 49 out of 67 districts in the state.

Lowry Elementary consistently outperforms the Hillsborough District and the state of Florida in academic assessments. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Lowry's 5th-grade students scored 64% proficient or better in Statewide Science, compared to 50% for Hillsborough and 55% for Florida. The school also scored higher than the district and state in FAST English Language Arts and Math assessments for 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students. However, Lowry has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23% to 31.4% over the past few years, which is an area of concern.

When comparing Lowry Elementary to nearby schools, it stands out as a relatively high-performing school within the Hillsborough District. For instance, Bryant Elementary, located just 2.67 miles away, consistently ranks among the top 5% of Florida elementary schools and outperforms Lowry in academic assessments. Lowry's higher per-student spending, ranging from $9,475 to $10,341 over the past few years, may contribute to its strong performance, but the school's higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 33.46% to 38.68%, suggests it serves a more economically disadvantaged population compared to some nearby schools.

The teachers don't actually teach you anything, or atleast they didn't when i was there(i was there for 4th and 5th grade, i am in 8th grade now), i was a straight A student and Aced the final testing but after i moved i needed so much summer school because they didn't actually teach you anything
The teachers and administration don't really pay attention to the kids either, the nurse doesn't do anything to help a sick student, and they don't pay attention to kids when they report bullying. 0/10 this is a BAD school Close Quote
