Summary

Collins Pk-8 School is a public school located in Riverview, Florida, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 1,534 students. The school is part of the Hillsborough School District, which is ranked 49 out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Collins Pk-8 School generally performs better than the Hillsborough district and the state of Florida in various standardized tests, including EOC/Algebra 1, EOC/Civics, Statewide Science/Science, and FAST/English Language Arts and Math. For example, in 2024-2025, Collins Pk-8 School had 73% proficiency in EOC/Algebra 1, compared to 59% for Hillsborough and 60% for Florida. However, the school has a higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to the state average, ranging from 28.2% to 31.4% in recent years. Additionally, Collins Pk-8 School has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (37.03% in 2023-2024) compared to some of the nearby schools, which may indicate a relatively higher socioeconomic status of the student population.

While Collins Pk-8 School generally outperforms the nearby schools in test scores, some of the charter schools, such as Riverview Academy of Math and Science and Creekside Charter Academy, also demonstrate strong academic performance, with higher proficiency rates in several subjects compared to Collins Pk-8 School. The higher per-student spending at Collins Pk-8 School ($9,309 in 2023-2024) compared to the state and district averages may be a factor in the school's stronger academic performance, as it allows for more resources and support for students.

Collins used to be a good school.Now there are teachers who dont know how to teach and if you ask them anything regarding your childs work, they wont like it.The principal is very ill-mannered.if u call him with any regards,he's not there and won't even return your call.All he cares about is FCAT.

Collins Elementary School is seriously lacking in staff academic preparedness. The kindergarten staff, as supported by the principal, is taking an entire nine weeks to assess the students. In the meantime, they cut, color and paste as a whole group. Very little attention is given to differentiating the education of students. There is no evidence of ability grouping, no brain-based learning, and little classroom management in place. If you are prepared to let your kindergarten student color, cut and paste for an entire nine weeks while your student loses his or her enthusiasm for learning then this school will meet your expectations. Our family was so disappointed that our kindergarten student was transferred to a private school. No public school experience should be so ineffective. Perhaps Rick Scott needs to stop cutting education funding and require all classroom teachers to aquire a masters degree, giving the teachers the support and resources they need to be effective.
