Summary

Dr. Kiran C. Patel Elementary School is a K-5 public school in Tampa, FL, serving 510 students within the Hillsborough County School District, and it stands out as a top-performing school in a district that ranks in the bottom half of the state.

Patel Elementary is an academic powerhouse, consistently earning a 5-star rating and ranking in the 95th percentile of all Florida elementary schools. Its test scores are dramatically higher than nearby schools. For example, 5th-grade math proficiency is 97%, compared to 75% at Tampa Palms Elementary School and just 21% at Woodmont Charter School.

Patel also has a low chronic absenteeism rate of 18.4%, significantly better than the district average of 31.3% and far lower than the 63.7% rate at Woodmont Charter School. This combination of high performance and low spending makes Patel a standout example of what a school can achieve with a focused academic environment.
