Summary

Lanier Elementary School is a public elementary school in Tampa, Florida, serving 354 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Hillsborough School District, which is ranked 49 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lanier Elementary consistently outperforms the Hillsborough district and the state of Florida in standardized test scores. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 62% of Lanier's 5th-grade students scored proficient or better in Statewide Science, compared to 50% for the district and 55% for the state. However, the school has a higher chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 29.4% to 31.4% in recent years, which is an area of concern. Lanier also serves a higher proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with 59.6% to 71.39% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

When comparing Lanier Elementary to nearby schools, some interesting observations can be made. Mabry Elementary, Grady Elementary, and Roosevelt Elementary consistently outperform Lanier in test scores and have lower chronic absenteeism rates, despite being in the same district. Meanwhile, Bridgeprep Academy of Tampa, a charter school, generally underperforms Lanier in test scores and has a higher chronic absenteeism rate.
