Summary

Kids Community College Riverview Southeast is a small K-8 charter school in Riverview, FL, serving 433 students within the Hillsborough district, but it has experienced a dramatic and concerning academic decline over the past decade, dropping from a 3-star school to a 1-star school ranking in the 21st percentile.

The most striking issue is the school's extreme volatility in test scores, which suggests inconsistent instruction across grade levels. For example, in the most recent year, 7th-grade Math proficiency soared to 75% (far exceeding the state average), while 4th-grade Math proficiency was just 21%. This "tale of two schools" pattern is a red flag, especially when compared to nearby stable performers like Riverview Academy of Math and Science (75th percentile) and Valrico Lake Advantage Academy (90th percentile). Even its sister campus, Kids Community College Riverview South (K-12), located just 2.46 miles away, is significantly more stable and higher-ranked (35th percentile), indicating the challenges are specific to this campus.

Compounding the academic struggles, the school faces a severe chronic absenteeism rate of 36.1%—far higher than nearby top performers like Riverview Academy (16.5%)—and a high student-teacher ratio of 26.2:1, the highest among all nearby schools. The percentage of students eligible for free/reduced lunch has also tripled in just two years, signaling a rapid shift in the student population that the school may not be prepared to support. While per-student spending ($9,518) is in the middle of the pack, the combination of declining performance, high absenteeism, and a ballooning student-teacher ratio paints a picture of a school struggling to adapt. Without significant intervention, the downward trend is likely to continue.

Open Quote Great school that focuses specifically on helping kids as individuals. My kids continue to grow more each day with academics and socially. I feel they are being challenged and excited to go to school. Close Quote

Open Quote My son attened KCC SE from kindergarten through 3rd grade. I pulled him out of the school for many reasons. Some of the top are: lack of communication, changing curriculum and application, lack of technology, and constant change of administrative staff and teachers. My biggest concern was in 3rd grade we focused on FSA and offer “boot camps” for the students that are performing at an average level to boost scores, while students that perform lower may be pulled during class time to work on skills, even pulled out of core curriculum classes when learning and growth is happening. I take full responsibility for my child’s education and this school unfortunately did not fit our needs. Personal decision for everyone, but I would not recommend this school. Close Quote

Open Quote A small school with a great theory of education. This IB candidate school is an excellent alternative to local public schools. KCC is fast growing with new locations popping up all over South Florida. A plethora of clubs & sports outside of every day curriculum. Major draw back, no music dept., no art dept. However, the school does offer Spanish from K-5 as well as technology. Close Quote
