Summary:
The 33592 zip code area in Florida is home to two elementary schools - Folsom Elementary School and Thonotosassa Elementary School. Both schools have struggled to achieve strong academic performance, with low statewide rankings and test scores that fall significantly below the Hillsborough district and Florida state averages.
Folsom Elementary School ranked 1707 out of 2258 Florida elementary schools in 2024-2025, with a 1-star rating, while Thonotosassa Elementary School ranked 2074 out of 2258, with a 0-star rating. Both schools have seen a decline in their statewide rankings over the past three school years. In terms of test scores, the schools perform poorly, with only 38% proficiency in 3rd grade English Language Arts at Folsom Elementary and just 30% at Thonotosassa Elementary, compared to 53% for the district and 57% for the state.
The schools also face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates of over 31% in 2023-2024, which likely contributes to their low academic performance. Additionally, both schools have a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. Despite the relatively high per-student spending and student-teacher ratios, the schools have struggled to improve their outcomes, indicating potential issues with resource allocation and effective use of funds.
