Summary

Bloomingdale High School in Valrico, FL, is a large public school serving 2,208 students in grades 9-12 within the Hillsborough district, where a relatively low 27% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating a more affluent community.

Academically, Bloomingdale is a solidly above-average school with a 4-star rating and a very high 95.2% graduation rate, outperforming both the district (90.9%) and state (92.2%) averages. Its strongest subjects are US History (86% proficiency) and Biology (84% proficiency), which are among the highest in the area, rivaling top-performing Newsome High School. The school also excels in Geometry (68% proficiency), significantly outpacing nearby schools like Riverview High School (57%) and Durant High School (56%). However, Algebra 1 proficiency (55%) lags behind the state average (63%), creating an interesting contrast in math performance.

A key concern is Bloomingdale’s high chronic absenteeism rate of 38.5%, which is far worse than the district (31.3%) and state (31.4%) averages, and dramatically higher than Newsome’s 17.7%. Despite this, the school maintains strong test scores and graduation rates, suggesting that while many students are highly engaged, a significant portion may be disengaged or facing attendance barriers. Compared to nearby Spoto High School (52% poverty rate) and Brandon High School (53% poverty rate), Bloomingdale serves a more affluent population, which correlates with its higher academic performance. While not the top-tier option in the immediate area—Newsome outperforms it in nearly every metric—Bloomingdale remains a strong, efficient school that uses its resources well to achieve above-average results.
