Tampa public schools: every school, zone and report card

Last checked Oct. 11, 2026. Sources: Hillsborough County Public Schools’ 2026-27 school zones, 40th-day enrollment count (as of Oct. 5, 2026), magnet list, charter school list and adopted boundary changes; the Florida Department of Education’s 2026 school grades file; the City of Tampa’s address points; and the federal NCES school directory and Private School Survey.

Tampa’s public schools are run by Hillsborough County Public Schools, the countywide district governed by the elected School Board of Hillsborough County; the city has no school system of its own. The district office is at 901 E. Kennedy Blvd., 813-272-4000.

Attendance zones do not follow city limits: some Tampa addresses are zoned for schools outside the city, and some schools inside the city draw students from unincorporated areas. Check any address with the district’s Find Your Neighborhood School lookup. Magnet schools have no zone; families apply through the district’s School Choice office, 813-272-4692.

This page lists every district school inside Tampa city limits, the high schools outside the city whose zones take in Tampa addresses, and the public charter schools in the city. Each name links to our page for that school. Enrollment is the district’s 40th-day count for 2026-27 where the district publishes one and the federal 2024-25 count otherwise. Each grade links to the school’s state report card. Tables are in alphabetical order.

High schools

Armwood, Gaither, King, Leto and Wharton sit outside the city limits; their zones take in parts of Tampa. Gaither’s zone covers only 36 Tampa address points. Tampa Bay Tech, a magnet high school, is outside the city and has no zone.

Which high school zone covers Tampa

Matching the City of Tampa’s 212,263 address points against the district’s 2026-27 high school zones. An address point can be a house, an apartment or a business.

Middle and K-8 schools

Parts of Tampa are also zoned for middle schools outside the city, chiefly Greco, Pierce, Buchanan and Jennings.

Elementary schools

Parts of Tampa are also zoned for elementary schools outside the city, including Dickenson, Turner/Bartels K-8, Temple Terrace, Twin Lakes and Pride.

Charter schools

Charter schools are public schools run by their own boards under a contract with a sponsor. They have no attendance zone; under Florida law, a school with more applicants than seats fills them by random lottery. These are the charter schools on the district’s 2026-27 list with campuses inside Tampa city limits.

Changes coming in 2027-28

On April 7, 2026, the School Board gave final approval to these changes for the 2027-28 school year, according to the district’s adopted boundary changes:

• Graham Elementary’s zone merges into Broward Elementary’s, and its students are assigned to Broward.
• The Pizzo K-8 campus closes; its elementary students go to nearby elementary schools and its middle-grades students to their zoned middle schools.
• Young Middle Magnet gets an attendance zone and becomes a community middle school.
• Madison Middle moves to the former Monroe Middle campus at 4716 W. Montgomery Ave.; part of its old zone goes to Stewart.
• Sulphur Springs becomes a pre-K to grade 5 school; its sixth- to eighth-graders go to Memorial, Sligh and Woodson K-8.

Other public programs

The district also runs schools and programs inside the city that do not take students by zone or by the regular magnet application, so they have no page here: the Medical Academy at D.W. Waters, Hillsborough Virtual School, the North Tampa Success Center, the Carver and LaVoy exceptional student education centers, and programs in juvenile justice and residential settings. Pepin Academies is listed above with the charter schools.

Private schools

Private schools inside Tampa city limits with 100 or more students in the federal Private School Survey for 2023-24, in alphabetical order. Each name links to the school’s federal record. The survey also lists smaller schools and schools with Tampa mailing addresses outside the city.
