Summary

Twin Lakes Elementary School is a public elementary school in Tampa, Florida, serving 555 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Hillsborough School District. The school faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, significantly lower test scores compared to district and state averages, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Twin Lakes Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly lower than the Hillsborough district and Florida state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 20% of 5th-grade students at Twin Lakes were proficient or better in Statewide Science/Science, compared to 50% in the Hillsborough district and 55% statewide. When comparing Twin Lakes to nearby schools, such as Egypt Lake Elementary School, it becomes clear that Twin Lakes is underperforming academically.

The high chronic absenteeism rates at Twin Lakes Elementary School, ranging from 30.9% to 38.3% over the past few years, may be a contributing factor to the school's low academic performance. Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Twin Lakes, the school's academic performance remains significantly below the district and state averages, suggesting that the school may not be effectively utilizing its resources or that other factors, such as teacher quality, school leadership, or student demographics, may be playing a more significant role in the school's performance.
