Summary

Pride Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Tampa, Florida, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 995 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.

Pride Elementary School consistently ranks among the top 10-15% of Florida elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 111-263 out of over 2,200 schools in recent years. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science are significantly higher than the district and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, Pride Elementary had 85% proficiency in 3rd grade ELA, compared to 53% for Hillsborough and 57% for Florida. However, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 19.6% in 2021-2022 to 31.4% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Clark Elementary, Turner-Bartels K-8, and Heritage Elementary, Pride Elementary has lower chronic absenteeism rates, lower free and reduced lunch rates, and a lower student-teacher ratio. This consistent high performance is a testament to the school's effective teaching practices, strong leadership, and engaged community, despite the concerning trend in chronic absenteeism that the school and district should address.

This school is good in general. I wish they had more arts and after school programs. Kids have many resources(online programs) to help. A lot of homework especially reading and writing. Their writing program in my opinion is advanced and my third grader has to complete lots of essays and book reports all throughout the year. I feel like I didn't even start that till middle school. They have P.E. twice a week, what ever happened to every day?! The school focus a lot on state wide testing. PTA is lacking in this school. Close Quote

This school has exceeded my expectations. The staff & teachers are fun and creative and my child looks forward to learning. They are highly invested in helping each child become the best they can be. I've seen my child go from quiet and reserved to participating in activities outside his comfort level and finishing with a great sense of personal achievement. Part of the success of the school is the PTA which is filled with active, caring volunteers helping make Pride the best school around. This is not just a school it's a community filled with parents and teachers investing their time and energy into helping children grow in a positive manner. Close Quote

Very dis-organized school. PTA is useless. Teachers/office staff are not very accommodating to pro-active parents. Never see the principle around school. Traffic is a nightmare-one way in and one way out for buses and parents. Close Quote
