For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 74% of 3rd graders at Clark Elementary were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 53% for Hillsborough and 57% for Florida. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate is also significantly higher than the district and state, at 71% compared to 50% for Hillsborough and 55% for Florida. Clark Elementary's math proficiency rates are particularly impressive, with 80% of 3rd graders, 87% of 4th graders, and 79% of 5th graders scoring proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to the district and state averages.

However, some schools outside the Hillsborough district, such as Wiregrass Elementary and Seven Oaks Elementary in the Pasco district, have comparable or even higher academic performance in certain subjects and grade levels.
