Summary

Egypt Lake Elementary School is a public school in Tampa, FL, serving 488 students in grades PK-5 within the Hillsborough district, where over 70% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school has experienced a significant decline in recent years, dropping from the 58th percentile in 2020-2021 to its lowest point in a decade—the 24th percentile (1 star) for the 2025-2026 school year. This downward trend is steeper than many nearby schools, such as Mendenhall Elementary School (28th percentile) and Oak Grove Elementary School (19th percentile), which have remained relatively stagnant at lower levels.

Despite overall low scores, Egypt Lake shows a remarkable strength in 4th Grade Math, where 66% of students were proficient in the 2025-2026 school year—outperforming the district (61%) and state (65%) averages, and ranking highest among comparable nearby schools like Alexander Elementary School (64%) and Crestwood Elementary School (58%). However, this strength is not consistent across other subjects or grades; the school is consistently stronger in Math than in English Language Arts (ELA), with a wider gap than at many neighboring schools. For example, at Alexander Elementary, which serves a similar demographic, performance is strong in both subjects.

Chronic absenteeism remains a major issue at Egypt Lake, with a rate of 31.1% in 2023-2024—significantly higher than nearby schools like Alexander (22.9%) and Seminole Heights Elementary School (23.5%). The school also has a high student-teacher ratio of 20.9, compared to Alexander’s 15.0 and Seminole Heights’ 16.5. While per-student spending has increased by 19.5% over two years to $11,866, this investment has not yet translated into improved academic outcomes. Nearby Alexander Elementary, with lower absenteeism and smaller class sizes, offers a potential blueprint for improvement at Egypt Lake.

both my kids attended Egypt lake and both are very successful individuals, this was where the ground work was laid coupled with their parent at home training. I credit this school for its discipline and concrete measures when educating my kids. They were destined to do good! Close Quote

Its not so much the school itself, its the environment! HORRIBLE! The parents are rude, no manners what so ever, and the children follow in their footsteps. The parents are not teaching their children to keep their hands to themselves, proper English, or manners. I am in the process of pulling my son out of this school because of this. The teachers spend more time trying to translate or discipline then actually teaching. I'm pretty sure English is the language we speak in this country, unfortunately most of the parents can not speak it themselves. Close Quote
