Summary

Rampello K-8 Magnet School in Tampa, FL, is a high-performing public magnet school serving 782 students from Kindergarten through 8th grade in the Hillsborough district, consistently earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the top 20-25% of Florida elementary schools over the past decade.

Rampello stands out as an academic powerhouse in downtown Tampa, dramatically outperforming its immediate neighbors. For example, in 3rd Grade ELA, Rampello achieves 82% proficiency, while nearby schools like Graham Elementary School and Washington Elementary School score just 29% and 24%, respectively. The school also boasts exceptionally low chronic absenteeism at 10.2%, compared to rates of 49.5% at Bridgeprep Academy Of Tampa and 59.6% at Washington Elementary. Only 26.7% of Rampello students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a stark contrast to the over 70% average at surrounding schools, indicating a more economically advantaged student body drawn by its magnet program.

A standout feature is Rampello’s extraordinary Algebra 1 performance, with 98% of 8th graders proficient on the End-of-Course exam—35 percentage points above the state average. This reflects the school’s strength in accelerating top math students. While Gorrie Elementary School (1.1 miles away) is a 5-star school with even higher test scores, it only serves K-5, making Rampello a unique option for families seeking a consistent K-8 pathway. With a decade of stable, high-quality performance, Rampello is a premier choice for families wanting a top-tier public education in Tampa’s urban core.
