Summary

Seventy-Fourth St. Elementary is a mid-sized elementary school in St. Petersburg, FL, serving 472 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the Pinellas school district, and it serves a predominantly low-income community where over 62% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school stands out for its remarkable recent turnaround. After years of low performance, it has jumped from the 12th percentile statewide in 2020-2021 to the 48th percentile in 2025-2026, its highest rank in a decade. However, this progress comes with challenges. The school spends significantly more per student ($17,341) than higher-performing neighbors like Orange Grove Elementary School ($12,630) and Pasadena Fundamental Elementary School ($11,278), yet its academic outcomes remain lower. A major concern is chronic absenteeism, which affects 35.6% of students—far higher than the district average and a stark contrast to Pasadena Fundamental's 8.1% rate. Interestingly, the school shows a clear strength in Math, with proficiency rates much closer to the district average than its English Language Arts scores, especially in 5th grade.

When compared to nearby schools, the picture becomes more nuanced. Blanton Elementary School, just 1.26 miles away with a similar student population, spends less per student ($15,809) but achieves significantly higher 5th-grade Science scores (77% vs. 59%). Meanwhile, Plato Academy of St. Petersburg, a charter school less than a mile away, outperforms Seventy-Fourth St. in nearly every subject while spending less than half as much per student ($9,044). These comparisons highlight the unique challenges Seventy-Fourth St. faces, but the school's recent upward trajectory suggests that new strategies may be starting to pay off for its students.

What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, April 26, 2012

If you have bad vibes about this school, those vibes are trying to protect you and your children from attending one of the most poorly managed schools I've seen in all the twelve years I attended multiple schools as a student. When my son and I arrived at the school on the first day of school, the office doors were locked and one of the school's employees opened and poked her head around the door to ask if she could help us. I asked her if we could come in before talking with her further, and she was very reluctant to let us in. She further stated that they keep the doors locked to minimize heavy traffic flow in the front office. I looked at her like she was crazy and then proceeded to ask her how new students are suppose to obtain information in regards to getting to the right classes on the first day of school. She ignored my question and then told us who my son's teacher was and pointed to her right before telling us to go back out of the office doors and to the back of the school to find his classroom. We were given no map, there were no signs to help direct us, and all we got was a finger pointing us in the right direction (so we thought). Keep in mind my son has special needs, so a simple point in the right direction is really not going to help him when he has problems correctly following directions to begin with. Even I as the parent had to follow another group that we saw walking toward the side of the school, not the back of the school. When we arrived at an open gate, still there was no sign or directory and nobody was there to further assist us. We had to ask an employee walking the halls where we could find his class. It gets better…my son has an IEP (under a special program to assist children with special needs). The teacher told me she hadn’t read my son’s IEP, so she had no idea who he was or what his mannerisms were like on the first day of school. Knowing what I know now about this teacher and how miserable she has made my son’s school year, we should’ve walked away from the school when I couldn’t open the office doors. Close Quote
