Summary:
The 33618 zip code area in Hillsborough County, Florida is home to 3 schools: 1 elementary school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. While the schools in this area serve diverse student populations, Carrollwood Elementary School stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently outperforming the district and state averages in academic areas like 5th grade science and 3rd-6th grade math and English Language Arts.
In contrast, Gaither High School struggles to meet district and state benchmarks, with its performance on End-of-Course (EOC) and FAST assessments generally below average. However, the school serves a diverse student population, with a significant percentage of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by its high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 51.91%. The Dorothy Thomas Center, an alternative school, faces unique challenges, including a strikingly high chronic absenteeism rate of 79.1% and a very small student population of just 43 students.
The data also reveals significant disparities in resource allocation, with Carrollwood Elementary School spending $11,957 per student, compared to $8,015 per student at Gaither High School. The alternative Dorothy Thomas Center has the highest per-student spending at $56,895, reflecting the specialized services and smaller class sizes required for its student population.
