Summary

Ippolito Elementary School is a public school in Riverview, FL, serving 492 students in grades PK-5 within the Hillsborough district.

Ippolito Elementary is currently facing significant challenges, with academic performance ranking in the bottom tier of Florida elementary schools. The school’s most critical issue is an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate—around 46% of students miss 10% or more of the school year. This is dramatically higher than nearby high-performing charter schools like Winthrop Charter School (18.9%) and Riverview Academy Of Math And Science (16.5%). Test scores reflect this struggle: for example, only 19% of Ippolito’s 3rd graders are proficient in math, compared to 71% at Winthrop Charter. While the school spends a relatively high amount per student ($14,555), this investment has not yet translated into improved outcomes, and the school has remained in the bottom 10% of schools for nearly a decade.

There is one notable bright spot: 4th grade math proficiency jumped from 33% to 50% in one year, though this success hasn’t been consistent across other grades or subjects. For parents considering Ippolito, the data suggests that the school’s most urgent priority is addressing its attendance crisis, which appears to be the primary barrier to academic improvement. Nearby schools like Lamb Elementary have shown recent signs of improvement, but Ippolito’s ranking has remained stagnant. The school serves a high-needs population, with 67% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, and its high spending is typical of schools serving similar demographics in the area.
