Summary

Oak Park Elementary School is a public school in Tampa, FL, serving 314 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in the Hillsborough district, where nearly 80% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school faces significant challenges, most notably a chronic absenteeism rate of 53.1% in 2023-2024, which is nearly double the state average and far higher than nearby schools like Lomax Magnet Elementary School (22.8%) and Kenly Elementary School (48.2%). This absenteeism crisis is the core issue driving low academic performance, as over half of students are missing significant school time, making it extremely difficult to achieve grade-level proficiency.

Despite these challenges, there is a bright spot in 3rd-grade math, where 64% of students were proficient in 2025-2026—higher than the district average and the highest score among all 11 nearby schools. However, this success does not carry over to 4th grade, where math proficiency drops sharply to 40%, the largest single-grade decline in the area. This suggests that effective strategies in 3rd grade are not being sustained, and the school should investigate how to replicate that success in later grades. While Oak Park ranks in the bottom 15% of Florida elementary schools, it has shown slight improvement in recent years, moving from the 1st percentile to the 8th percentile, and it performs better than some neighbors like James Elementary School (2nd percentile) and Potter Elementary School (1st percentile).

Interestingly, magnet schools in the area, such as Shore Elementary Magnet School and Desoto Elementary School, achieve significantly higher proficiency rates despite serving similar demographics, suggesting that specialized programs or increased parental engagement could be beneficial models for Oak Park. The school’s per-student spending ($15,765) is higher than some high-performing magnets like Shore ($14,449), indicating that current resources are not translating into academic gains. For parents, the key takeaway is that Oak Park’s improvement plan must prioritize tackling chronic absenteeism as the foundational issue, while also building on its promising 3rd-grade math program to create consistent success across all grades.
