Literacy/Leadership/Technology Academy

Public, Charter Grades K-8

1819^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 2,258 Florida Elementary Schools

Better than 19% of Florida elementary schools

Summary

Literacy/Leadership/Technology Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Tampa, Florida, with 466 students. The school is part of the Hillsborough school district, which is ranked 49 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The data suggests that Literacy/Leadership/Technology Academy is facing significant challenges. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.7% to 31.4%, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's test scores are generally below the district and state averages across most grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 5th grade science proficiency rate was 21% compared to 50% for the district and 55% for the state. The school's statewide ranking has also steadily declined over the past decade, going from a high of 3 stars out of 5 to its current 1-star rating.

When comparing Literacy/Leadership/Technology Academy to the nearby schools, such as Winthrop Charter School, it generally underperforms on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism. The school's student-teacher ratio has fluctuated between 13.7 and 16.6 over the past few years, which is generally lower than the nearby schools, but this does not seem to be translating into better academic outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that Literacy/Leadership/Technology Academy may need to implement significant changes to improve student outcomes and better serve the community.

LLT is an amazing school. It is really like a family. The teachers and administration are top notch. I have 3 children who all excelled at LLT and all three did well enough to attend Lennard High School's Collegiate Academy. I love the fact that character and leadership are an integral part of the education my children received. A+ Close Quote
