Better than 6% of Florida elementary schools

Summary

Bing Elementary School in Tampa, FL, serves 480 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the Hillsborough County School District, but it has faced significant and persistent academic challenges, currently ranking in the bottom 6% of Florida elementary schools.

Bing’s academic performance is notably lower than many nearby schools. For example, while Bing’s math proficiency rates range from 40% to 50%, Desoto Elementary School, just 3.7 miles away, achieves 93% proficiency in 3rd-grade math. This gap is especially striking because both schools serve a similar percentage of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, showing that high poverty does not have to dictate low performance. Bing does show a relative strength in math compared to English Language Arts, but overall, its test scores are consistently the lowest among its peers.

A major concern is Bing’s chronic absenteeism rate of 43.2%, which is far higher than the district average of 31.3% and is strongly linked to its low academic outcomes. Schools with lower absenteeism, like Literacy/Leadership/Technology Academy at 19.7%, perform much better. Additionally, Bing spends $14,647 per student—more than many higher-performing nearby schools—yet this investment has not translated into improved results, pointing to a serious efficiency problem that any improvement plan must address.
