Original Research by School Decision on High School Uuu
High School UUU is listed in federal school records as a closed regular public school at an address on West Lake Drive in Wimauma, Florida, within the Hillsborough County school district. Because the school is closed, enrollment, demographic, academic performance, and staffing data are entirely absent from the record. There is nothing to characterize about its student body, test results, or program offerings, and readers should not interpret those absences as weak performance but simply as the expected data state for a school that is no longer operating.
The address on West Lake Drive is the same location publicly reported as the site of Aquilla J. Morgan High School, a new Hillsborough County school built on a large greenfield campus in response to rapid residential growth in southern Hillsborough County. That school has been reported as the district's largest construction project ever. The naming convention in this record, "High School UUU," appears to be a placeholder used during the planning and construction phase before the school received its permanent name. A parent researching the school that now serves this address should look up Aquilla J. Morgan High School directly through the Hillsborough County district.
For context on the community, Wimauma sits in the southern part of Hillsborough County and carries a distinctly dual character. Its historic core is agricultural, rooted in strawberry and vegetable farming, with a predominantly Hispanic and Latino population and small family businesses along the main state road. At the same time, it is one of the fastest-growing parts of the county, with master-planned subdivisions rolling out across former farmland and a population that has roughly doubled in recent years with projections of continued expansion. New construction from multiple large homebuilders defines large portions of the area today.
The community is car-dependent. Residents overwhelmingly drive to work, public transit options are limited and publicly reported to be at risk of further reduction, and pedestrian infrastructure is still being planned rather than built out. The county has an active revitalization effort for the historic downtown core, though the new school campus and surrounding subdivisions are physically separate from that older center.
For families considering housing near this school, home values in the area are modestly above both the statewide and national midpoints but have declined over the past year. Rents have also softened. The price-to-income ratio sits at a level that suggests meaningful affordability pressure relative to national norms, and the estimated monthly cost of ownership is a real consideration for a household at median income.
At the Hillsborough district level, two changes are worth knowing. Voters approved a property tax referendum in late 2024 that adds to homeowner costs beginning in mid-2025, running through mid-2029, with the revenue directed toward teacher and support staff pay. Separately, the district completed a large boundary rezoning for 2024-2025 that shifted school assignments for a substantial number of students across the county. Families moving into the Wimauma area should confirm current attendance boundaries directly with the district, as the rezoning introduced changes that may not yet be fully reflected in older assignment maps.
