Armwood High School is a public magnet high school located in Seffner, Florida, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 2,310 students. The school is part of the Hillsborough County School District, which is ranked 49 out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Armwood High School consistently underperforms compared to the Hillsborough County and Florida state averages on standardized tests. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school had significantly lower proficiency rates in Algebra 1 (30% vs. 59% and 60%), Geometry (47% vs. 53% and 55%), and 10th grade English Language Arts (49% vs. 57% and 58%). Additionally, Armwood High School has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 30.9% to 53.0% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. The school's four-year graduation rate of 89.7% for the 2023-2024 school year is also slightly below the state average.

Armwood High School's performance is generally lower than the nearby magnet schools, such as Tampa Bay Technical High School and Strawberry Crest High School, which have higher academic proficiency rates, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism. This may be attributed to factors such as lower per-student spending, ranging from $7,236 to $8,284 per student in recent years, and a higher student-teacher ratio, which has fluctuated between 20.7 and 27.5 in recent years.

What people are saying

by a parent
Saturday, October 30, 2010

I am a parent of 3 children who have graduated or will graduate from Armwood. This school gets a bad rating from many people b/c they base their opinion on the grading system from the state of Florida. What most people do not know is that Armwood missed being a B school by 2 students 3 years ago. Two students from the lower quartile did not increase their level. Two years ago Armwood missed being a B school once again by 1 student for the same reason, and was penalized a letter grade because of this fact. Last year's grade is waiting to come in.
The school has very caring, supportive, and knowledgeable teachers who go above and beyond teaching in the classroom. Many AP courses are taught at the school. I would not send my children anywhere else! Close Quote
