Summary:

In zip code 33613 (Tampa, FL), there is only one high school, Building Construction Academy At Bowers Whitley, a specialized public school serving grades 9-12 within the Hillsborough County School District.

This small school, with just 76 students, offers a focused career and technical education (CTE) pathway in building construction. While it provides a low student-teacher ratio of 10.3:1, the school faces significant challenges. The most critical issue is a chronic absenteeism rate of 61.2%, meaning the majority of students miss substantial instructional time. This directly contributes to a graduation rate of only 65.2%, which is dramatically lower than the district (90.9%) and state (92.2%) averages. Academic proficiency on state assessments is also very low, with Algebra 1 at 26%, Biology 1 at 43%, and 10th Grade ELA at 32%—all well below state benchmarks. The school has received a 1-star rating and ranks in the 18th percentile statewide.

A standout paradox is the school's exceptionally high per-student spending of $36,472, which is likely due to the high fixed costs of a specialized program spread across a tiny enrollment. Despite this immense financial investment, outcomes remain poor, suggesting the school may be serving a highly at-risk population where non-academic challenges like poverty (62% free/reduced lunch) and disengagement are major factors. The school's state ranking has been consistently in the bottom 20% for the last three years, indicating these are persistent, systemic issues rather than a temporary setback.
