Summary

Frost Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Riverview, Florida, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 624. 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. Frost Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Florida elementary schools, with a ranking between 1195 and 1807 over the past 10 school years, and has maintained a 1- or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Frost Elementary faces significant challenges in terms of student academic performance, chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic factors. The school has consistently lower proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the Hillsborough County and Florida state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Frost's 5th-grade science proficiency rate was 35%, compared to 50% for Hillsborough County and 55% for the state. Additionally, Frost Elementary has had consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 40.9% over the past few school years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

When comparing Frost Elementary to the nearby schools in the Hillsborough County district, it consistently underperforms on key metrics such as test scores, chronic absenteeism, and free/reduced lunch rates. For instance, Winthrop Charter School, which is located just 2.91 miles away, outperforms Frost Elementary across all grade levels and subject areas. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and free/reduced lunch at Frost Elementary suggest that socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in the school's academic performance, and the lower per-student spending compared to nearby schools could also be a contributing factor.
