The schools in the Hillsborough City Elementary district significantly outperform the state averages in all subject areas and grade levels, with low chronic absenteeism rates and student-teacher ratios. While the schools have outstanding academic outcomes, the low percentages of students receiving free/reduced lunch may indicate a lack of socioeconomic diversity and potential equity issues within the district. Nevertheless, the high-performing nature of the schools presents an opportunity for them to share best practices and collaborate to further improve educational outcomes for all students.
