Summary

Roland Park K-8 Magnet School in Tampa, FL, is a high-performing public magnet school serving 933 students from Kindergarten through 8th grade in the Hillsborough district, offering a unique K-8 pathway that eliminates the need for a middle school transition.

Roland Park’s standout feature is its exceptional middle school program (grades 6-8), which offers advanced coursework not available at nearby elementary-only schools. In the 2025-2026 school year, 99% of students were proficient in Algebra 1 and 100% in Geometry—dramatically higher than district averages of 63% and 54%. Civics proficiency reached 91%, far exceeding the district (70%) and state (77%). The school also boasts remarkably low chronic absenteeism at just 6.8%, compared to the district average of 31.3%, indicating strong family engagement. While Roland Park ranks in the 78th percentile statewide—a recent decline from its historical 90th percentile—it still outperforms many peers. Nearby schools like Roosevelt Elementary School (90th percentile) and Grady Elementary School (99th percentile) have higher elementary rankings, but Roland Park’s seamless K-8 program provides stability and advanced middle school options that these schools cannot offer.

Roland Park is efficient with its budget, spending $10,374 per student—less than many high-performing peers like Grady ($11,799) and significantly less than struggling schools like West Tampa Elementary School ($16,618). The school serves a relatively affluent student body, with 28.9% qualifying for free or reduced lunch, contrasting with nearby magnets like Dunbar Elementary Magnet School (77.8%). A notable data anomaly shows 7th-grade math proficiency at 0% in 2023-2024, likely because all 7th graders were enrolled in Algebra 1 (an 8th-grade course) and not tested on the standard exam. For families seeking a stable, long-term educational environment with strong academics from kindergarten through middle school, Roland Park is a top-tier choice.
