Summary:
The 33578 zip code in Riverview, Florida is home to 16 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 4 high schools, and 2 alternative schools, all part of the Hillsborough County School District. While the district is ranked 49 out of 67 in Florida and has a 2-star rating, several schools in the area stand out as high-performers, including Winthrop Charter School, Riverview Academy of Math and Science, and Creekside Charter Academy.
On the other hand, a few schools in the area, such as Giunta Middle School and Ippolito Elementary School, are among the lowest-performing in the state, with test scores well below the district and state averages. The data also reveals a concerning trend of high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools in the 33578 zip code, which likely contributes to the overall lower performance in the area.
Interestingly, the data suggests a clear divide in performance between the charter schools and traditional public schools, with the top-performing institutions being the charter schools. Additionally, there appears to be a correlation between the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and the schools' academic performance, with the higher-poverty schools generally underperforming. The wide range in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools also indicates that resource allocation may be a factor in their success.
