Summary

Trapnell Elementary School in Plant City, FL, is a mid-sized elementary school serving 421 students in grades PK through 5, where 73.4% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and it is part of the Hillsborough County School District. Over the past decade, Trapnell has shown a clear and positive trajectory, climbing from a low point in the 2020-2021 school year to a 2-star rating and the 46th percentile in the current 2025-2026 ranking, placing it in the middle of the pack among Florida elementary schools.

Trapnell stands out from nearby schools in several key areas, most notably in mathematics. In the 2025-2026 school year, the school outperformed both the district and state averages in every grade level tested (3rd, 4th, and 5th), a rare achievement among its peers. For example, 73% of 3rd graders were proficient in math, compared to 60% district-wide and 66% statewide. This strength is consistent, as Trapnell has met or exceeded district averages in math for the past three years, while most nearby schools like Dover Elementary, Bryan Elementary School, Jackson Elementary School, Wilson Elementary School, and Burney Elementary School consistently fall below. Additionally, Trapnell has a significantly lower student-teacher ratio of 13.7:1, compared to the average of its nearby peers (approx. 15.5:1), which likely supports more individualized instruction.

Another differentiator is Trapnell's consistent improvement in state ranking, while many nearby schools have volatile or declining rankings. For instance, Jackson Elementary has dropped to the 24th percentile, and Burney Elementary is in the 6th percentile, but Trapnell has risen from the 25th percentile in 2020-2021 to the 46th percentile today. The school also manages chronic absenteeism well, with a rate of 23.2% in 2023-2024, significantly better than the district's 31.3% and schools like Bryan (31.2%), Jackson (33.5%), and Wilson (34.9%). While its English Language Arts scores lag behind district and state averages, Trapnell's focused math program and lower absenteeism suggest it is effectively closing the achievement gap, especially when compared to Walden Lake Elementary School, a top-performing school just 2 miles away with a much lower poverty rate.
