Summary

Kingswood Elementary School is a public elementary school in Brandon, Florida, serving 455 students in grades PK-5. While part of the Hillsborough School District, which is ranked 49 out of 67 districts in the state, Kingswood has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Florida elementary schools over the past several years.

Kingswood Elementary faces significant challenges, with high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 30.9% to 42.4% over the past few years, well above the district and state averages. Academically, Kingswood students perform well below their peers, with only 31-39% proficient in English Language Arts and Math, compared to 52-58% for the district and 56-63% for the state. The school's 5th grade science proficiency is also low at 39%, compared to 50% for the district and 55% for the state.
