Summary

RCMA Wimauma Community Academy is a small K-8 charter school in Wimauma, FL, serving 373 students within the Hillsborough district, and it has shown a steady upward trend in its state ranking over the last three years, now sitting in the 54th percentile.

This school is a standout in mathematics, with proficiency rates that far exceed both district and state averages. For example, 93% of 5th graders are proficient in math, compared to just 31% at nearby Wimauma Elementary School and 35% at Reddick Elementary School. Even the high-performing Dorothy C York PK-8 Magnet School trails with 63% proficiency in 5th-grade math. The school also boasts an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 12.1%, a stark contrast to the 37-42% rates seen at neighboring schools like Thompson Elementary and Cypress Creek Elementary School. This consistent attendance is a key driver of academic success.

While early elementary reading scores show room for growth, the middle school program is remarkably strong. In 8th grade, 78% of students are proficient in English Language Arts, and 98% pass the Civics End-of-Course exam—outpacing even the Dorothy C York PK-8 Magnet School in civics. The school achieves these results with a lower per-student spending of $10,575, compared to over $14,000 at some struggling area schools, demonstrating efficient use of resources. For parents seeking a school that delivers strong math instruction, high attendance, and a powerful middle school program, RCMA Wimauma is a compelling choice.
