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.

While the school's graduation rates have ranged from 86.2% to 93.5% in recent years, this is generally lower than the nearby high schools like Steinbrenner High (89.7%), Gaither High (89.7%), and Alonso High (89.7%). Additionally, the school has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 47.9% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools, which all had 31.4% chronic absenteeism in the most recent year. Academically, Sports Leadership And Management Academy (Tampa) consistently underperforms the Hillsborough district and Florida state averages on a variety of end-of-course exams and grade-level assessments.

The school serves a student population that is predominantly from low-income backgrounds, as evidenced by the very high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 60.6% to 91.78% in recent years. This is much higher than the nearby traditional public high schools, which have rates ranging from 16.69% to 67.83%. Despite the school's challenges, it spends between $9,449 and $9,973 per student, which is higher than the spending at some nearby schools. Overall, Sports Leadership And Management Academy (Tampa) faces significant challenges in comparison to nearby high-performing schools, particularly in the areas of academic achievement, graduation rates, and student attendance, and may benefit from more intensive, targeted support and interventions to help improve student outcomes.
