The city of Temple Terrace, Florida is home to 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Hillsborough school district. While the district is ranked 45 out of 68 in Florida and has a 2-star rating, a few standout schools emerge from the data.
Riverhills Elementary Magnet School is the top-performing elementary school, ranking 804 out of 2,256 Florida elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating. It has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate at 14.7% and the highest test scores across multiple subjects and grade levels. In contrast, the charter schools, Woodmont Charter School and Village of Excellence Academy, generally perform worse than the traditional public schools in terms of test scores and statewide rankings.
At the middle and high school levels, Greco Middle Magnet School stands out with the highest statewide ranking among the schools, and Focus Academy has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 88.9%. However, the data also reveals wide disparities in performance and resource allocation, with the schools serving higher percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch tending to have lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates.
