Summary

Shore Elementary Magnet School in Tampa, FL, is a PK-5 magnet school serving 330 students within the Hillsborough school district, where 63% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Shore Elementary stands out for its exceptional early literacy and math performance, particularly in 3rd grade. In the 2025-2026 school year, 70% of Shore’s 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts (ELA), which is 15 points above the district average and 10 points above the state average. This is a significant differentiator compared to nearby schools like Washington Elementary School (24% proficiency) and Graham Elementary School (37% proficiency). Similarly, 70% of Shore’s 3rd graders were proficient in math, outperforming the district and state averages and far exceeding schools like Lockhart Elementary Magnet School (31% proficiency). The school also shows consistent strength in 5th-grade science, with 53% proficiency in 2024-2025, compared to just 20% at Oak Park Elementary School and 22% at Washington.

However, Shore faces a notable challenge: a sharp decline in academic performance after 3rd grade. While 3rd grade proficiency in both ELA and math was 70% in 2025-2026, it dropped to 50% in ELA and 43% in math by 4th grade, and further to 41% in math by 5th grade. This pattern suggests the school excels at early elementary instruction but struggles to maintain momentum in upper grades. On a positive note, Shore’s chronic absenteeism rate of 29.7% is below the district and state averages and dramatically lower than neighbors like Washington (59.6%) and Oak Park (53.1%), indicating a more stable student body. Compared to the higher-performing Rampello K-8 Magnet School, which serves a lower-poverty population, Shore demonstrates that effective early-grade strategies can yield strong results even in a high-poverty setting.
