Open Quote TBK8 is a great school but had a lot of turmoil due to the Hillsborough County Board of Education. In 2014-2015, the Board made a decision to combine our Elementary and Middle School into a large public school K8 without working with the parents or our business partners (or School Administrators). They also made an unilateral decision to remove both School Principals and Assistant Principals leaving no one behind to assist with the massive changeover. In addition, the state was in the process of implementing new testing standards (the FSA). Since the K8 combination, our PTSA and community has worked very hard to make the best of our situation and develop a great school system! However, we continue to struggle with the Hillsborough County Board of Education on issues such as constant changes with administration, bell schedules, and bus issues. Since my daughter started elementary school, she is under her 3rd Principal and 3rd bell schedule (start/release time) and she is only going into 4th grade in the fall of 2017. I fear what might happen by the time she hits 8th grade. While this may not sound like a big deal to some, we go through a huge changeover in teaching staff and protocols/education theories. My son's 3rd grade teacher has moved to 4th his 4th grade teacher to 5th his kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade teachers have left TBK8 to teach elsewhere. We lost many great teachers, gained many new teachers .....etc. It is very easy to see by rankings and scores when we have these major changeovers because our children are impacted as is their learning. I personally like the K8 model and feel much better about my son continuing his education in the same location next year as a Middle Schooler. I just wish our County Board could figure a few things out. We have severe bus shortages and issues but they still use buses to bring kids from other neighborhoods to a local High School (as far North in the County as you can get without leaving it). I don't understand this principle. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
