Summary

Muller Elementary Magnet School is a public magnet school in Tampa, FL, serving 395 students in grades PK-5 within the Hillsborough district, and it stands out for its exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 20%—far better than nearby schools like Miles Elementary School (49.2%) and Legacy Preparatory Academy (36.6%), and well below the district and state averages of about 31%.

While Muller has a strong culture of attendance and family engagement, its academic performance has been volatile. After years of solid performance, the school saw a sharp drop in 2024-2025, with test scores falling dramatically across most subjects—for example, 3rd-grade math went from 68% to 34% proficient. It has since recovered slightly to a 2-star rating (35th percentile) in 2025-2026. However, a clear bright spot is 5th-grade math, where 65% of students scored proficient, outperforming the district (58%) and state (62%) averages, and far exceeding nearby schools like Shaw Elementary School (33%) and Witter Elementary School (38%). This suggests a particularly effective math program at that grade level.

Muller’s magnet designation attracts committed families, which likely contributes to its low absenteeism, but the school still faces challenges tied to serving a high-poverty population (69% free/reduced lunch). Its per-student spending of $12,429 is moderate compared to neighbors like Forest Hills Elementary School ($13,421) and Miles Elementary School ($14,727), yet it achieves better attendance outcomes. The contrast with nearby Learning Gate Community School—a magnet with only 4.5% low-income students and higher test scores—highlights how demographics influence results. Muller’s path forward likely involves replicating its 5th-grade math success across other subjects while building on its strong attendance culture.
