Summary:

The five public schools in zip code 33629 (Tampa, Florida) serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and are part of the Hillsborough district, which ranks in the 36th percentile statewide, yet these schools consistently outperform their district and state averages. The area is anchored by three elementary schools—Grady Elementary School, Mabry Elementary School, and Roosevelt Elementary School—along with Coleman Middle School and Plant High School. All five schools rank in the top 10% of their respective school types in Florida, with Grady Elementary leading the pack at 24th out of 2,240 elementary schools (99th percentile) and Mabry Elementary close behind at 63rd. Plant High School boasts a 98.6% graduation rate, far exceeding the district (90.9%) and state (92.2%) averages.

Standout schools include Grady Elementary, which achieves extraordinary test scores—98% proficiency in 3rd and 5th-grade Math—despite having the highest percentage of students on free/reduced lunch (20.62%) in the area, suggesting highly effective resource use. Coleman Middle School is a math and science powerhouse, with 100% of its students proficient in Algebra 1 and Geometry EOC exams for two consecutive years, creating a strong pipeline to Plant High School, where 63% of students are proficient in Algebra 1 and 75% in Geometry. Chronic absenteeism is exceptionally low across all schools, especially at Mabry Elementary (5.7%) and Roosevelt Elementary (6.5%), compared to the district average of 31%, indicating strong community engagement.

An interesting finding is the "Roosevelt Dip," where Roosevelt Elementary dropped from the 52nd rank (98th percentile) in 2023-2024 to 231st (90th percentile) in 2025-2026, a notable decline for a formerly top-ranked school. Meanwhile, Grady Elementary maintains its top-tier status with the highest spending per student ($11,799) and the highest state ranking, making it a model of high-performance equity. Overall, the feeder pattern from Coleman Middle to Plant High is a clear strength, ensuring students retain advanced math skills through high school.
