Original Research by School Decision on Woodbridge Elementary School
Woodbridge Elementary sits on the western side of Tampa, serving prekindergarten through fifth grade as a regular public school within Hillsborough County schools. The school draws a student body that is predominantly Hispanic, with smaller shares of white, Black, and multiracial students. A large majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, which places the school among those serving a high-need population. Data on English learner and special education rates were not available in the records we reviewed.
On Florida's state assessments, academic performance sits below where many families would hope to see it. In math, proficiency rates across tested grades range from the low to mid thirties up to the low forties, meaning most students are not yet meeting the state's proficiency bar at any grade level. Reading and ELA results follow a similar pattern in the third and fourth grades, though fifth grade ELA is somewhat stronger, with roughly half of students scoring proficient. Fifth grade science proficiency is in the low thirties. Trend data across multiple years was not available, so it is not possible from this data alone to say whether results are improving, holding steady, or declining. A parent who wants to understand the school's trajectory would do well to ask the school directly about its improvement plan and how it is using intervention supports.
No program offerings data was provided, so specialized programs, enrichment tracks, or intervention supports could not be described here. Because Woodbridge serves only elementary grades, graduation rate and AP or dual-enrollment metrics simply do not apply.
The school sits within a housing market where median home values in its zip code are roughly in line with both the state and national median, though both metrics have drifted down modestly over the past year. Rents in the area have also softened year over year. The estimated monthly cost to carry a home at current prices and mortgage rates is substantial relative to typical household income, a dynamic playing out across much of Tampa. That broader affordability pressure is worth weighing for families considering the neighborhood as a long-term address.
Hillsborough County schools underwent a wide-ranging boundary rezoning that took effect for the current school year, affecting a large number of schools and potentially shifting thousands of students. Families should confirm their current address falls within Woodbridge's attendance zone before making decisions based on the assignment. On the tax side, county voters approved a one-mill property tax levy in late 2024, running through mid-2029, aimed at raising teacher and staff pay. That levy adds a real annual cost for homeowners in the county and represents a structural change to how the district is funded, which is relevant context for anyone buying in the area.
Tampa itself is a large and internally varied city. The neighborhood around Woodbridge, on the city's western edge near the Westshore area, sits apart from the more walkable downtown core, Hyde Park, and the urban districts anchored by the Riverwalk and Ybor City. The city's economy draws heavily on defense, healthcare, and financial services, with major employers including MacDill Air Force Base, Tampa General Hospital, and the University of South Florida. Downtown Tampa is in an active development phase, with projects like Water Street and Gasworx adding residential and commercial density, though employment data from early 2026 showed some softening in the local labor market.
Woodbridge is a neighborhood school serving a community with significant economic challenges, and its proficiency data reflect that context plainly. Families who prioritize academics alongside the school's resource picture may want to ask the school specific questions about instructional supports, reading intervention, and how staff are using the additional resources that the newly passed teacher pay levy is intended to provide.
