Summary

Limona Elementary School is a public elementary school in Brandon, Florida, serving 559 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.

Limona Elementary consistently outperforms the Hillsborough district and the state of Florida in standardized test scores, particularly in Math. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Limona's 3rd grade Math proficiency rate was 68%, compared to 58% for Hillsborough and 63% for Florida. However, the school has a higher chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 28.8% to 31.4% in recent years, which is an area of concern. Limona also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 53.49% to 56.17% in recent years, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

While Limona Elementary's performance is generally stronger than the nearby Valrico Elementary, Kingswood Elementary, and other schools in the Hillsborough district, its statewide ranking has declined from 499 out of 2,112 Florida elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 1,174 out of 2,258 in 2024-2025. This suggests that the school may be struggling to keep pace with improvements in other schools across the state. Continued focus on addressing attendance and supporting economically disadvantaged students could help Limona maintain and potentially improve its academic standing.
