Summary

Patricia Sullivan Metropolitan Ministries Partnership School is a very small K-5 elementary school in downtown Tampa, FL, serving just 68 students from a highly disadvantaged community, with nearly 89% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch in the 2024-2025 school year.

This school stands out for its extraordinary resources: it spends $29,681 per student—nearly 2.6 times more than nearby schools like Gorrie Elementary School—and has a very low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.7:1. However, these advantages have not led to stable academic success. The school’s state ranking has been extremely volatile, swinging from a 4-star rating (77th percentile) in 2023-2024 to a 1-star rating (24th percentile) in 2025-2026. This instability is likely due to its tiny enrollment, where the performance of a single class can dramatically shift overall results. For example, the school shows a clear strength in English Language Arts (ELA), with 62% of 3rd graders proficient in 2025-2026, outperforming the district and state averages. Yet, math performance is a persistent weakness, with only 38% of 3rd graders and 36% of 4th graders proficient, significantly lagging behind. Chronic absenteeism is also a severe, ongoing challenge, with a rate of 39.8% in 2023-2024—more than triple the rate at high-performing nearby schools like Rampello K-8 Magnet School (10.2%).

Compared to its neighbors, Patricia Sullivan presents a study in contrasts. It is less than two miles from Gorrie Elementary School, a consistently high-performing school with low poverty and low absenteeism, highlighting deep socioeconomic divides within the Hillsborough district. Meanwhile, Graham Elementary School, just 0.6 miles away, shares a similar demographic profile and high spending but has been consistently low-performing. Patricia Sullivan’s brief period of high performance shows it has potential to outperform a demographically similar neighbor, but it has not been able to sustain it. For parents, this school offers intensive resources and small classes, but its academic results are unpredictable and heavily influenced by the challenges of high poverty and absenteeism.
