Summary

Twin Lakes Elementary School in Tampa, FL, is a public school serving 535 students in grades PK through 5 within the Hillsborough district, where over 73% of students come from low-income households. The school is facing a severe academic crisis, consistently ranking in the bottom 2% of all Florida elementary schools for the past four years and earning a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. This places it far behind its neighbors; for example, Carrollwood K-8 School, just 1.78 miles away, ranks in the 71st percentile, while Lake Magdalene Elementary School ranks in the 36th percentile.

Test scores at Twin Lakes are critically low across all subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates consistently 30 to 45 percentage points below state averages. For instance, only 23% of 3rd graders are proficient in math, compared to 66% statewide, and just 21% of 5th graders are proficient in science, versus 60% statewide. The school also struggles with a chronic absenteeism rate of 38.3%, the highest among nearby schools and significantly above the district average of 31.3%. In contrast, Seminole Heights Elementary School has a rate of 23.5%, and Carrollwood K-8 School sits at just 20.7%.

These challenges are compounded by a high student-teacher ratio of 20.8:1, one of the largest in the area, which means less individualized attention for students. While the school spends $10,836 per student, this is less than many higher-performing neighbors like Forest Hills Elementary School ($13,421) and Seminole Heights Elementary School ($16,231). The data suggests that Twin Lakes is not just underperforming academically but is also grappling with deep-rooted issues like poverty and disengagement that require a comprehensive, multi-faceted intervention to turn things around.
