The top reported proficiency rate is 75% in Math. The lowest is 58% in Science.
Original Research by School Decision on Pine View Elementary School
Pine View Elementary sits on Parkway Boulevard in Land O' Lakes, a fast-growing suburban census-designated place in Pasco County, positioned just north of Tampa along the US-41 and State Road 54 corridors. The school serves prekindergarten through fifth grade as a regular public school within the Pasco County School District, and its enrollment is moderate in size for that grade band.
The school population is majority white, with Hispanic students making up roughly a quarter of enrollment and smaller shares of Black, Asian, and multiracial students. About a third of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, which places Pine View on the lower end of economic need relative to many Florida elementary schools. Data on students with IEPs and English learners was not available in the records we reviewed, so parents with children in either population may want to ask the school directly about its support structures.
On the Florida FAST assessments, Pine View's reading and math results for tested grades tell a picture that is mixed but not dramatically out of step with statewide patterns. In ELA, proficiency rates across third, fourth, and fifth grades cluster in the low-to-mid sixties, which is modest and worth asking the school about if strong early literacy outcomes are a priority for your family. Math results are somewhat stronger, particularly in fourth grade, where performance climbs noticeably above the third- and fifth-grade results. Fifth-grade science proficiency sits just below six in ten students, which is similarly middling. There is also a small sixth-grade math cohort reported, and those students all tested proficient, though the size of that group is likely small enough that the figure should be read with caution. Multi-year trend data was not available, so it is not possible to say whether these results are improving, holding steady, or slipping. A parent may want to explore this with the school.
No program offerings data was present in the records, so specific enrichment, intervention, or specialty programming could not be assessed here.
The comparison framework for Pasco County schools could not place Pine View against peer schools in a meaningful way because the county has only one district, making within-county comparisons for this school uninstructive. State-level proficiency benchmarks remain the more useful frame.
Land O' Lakes itself is one of the more actively developing corners of the Tampa metro area. Publicly reported sources describe it as car-dependent and low on walkability, built around single-family subdivisions, lakefront lots, and large master-planned communities rather than any walkable center. Civic life anchors around the Land O' Lakes Recreation Complex on Collier Parkway, which includes athletic fields, a pool, a skate park, and a fishing pier, with a public library and Heritage Park nearby. The area is seeing substantial residential construction, with large communities like Connerton and the emerging Angeline development bringing thousands of new homes. Moffitt Cancer Center's Speros campus, publicly reported as a life sciences development opening its first phase in 2026, is expected to reshape the area's employment character over time.
The housing market near the school shows values above the Florida state median and well above the national median, with recent year-over-year prices moving slightly downward. Rents are running close to thirty percent of median household income by the affordability calculation in the data, which is a meaningful cost burden for renters. Mortgage costs on a typical home in the area would run materially higher than renting.
Two district-level developments are worth knowing. Pasco County voters approved a millage referendum in 2022 to fund teacher and staff salaries, and publicly reported coverage indicates this materially reduced teacher vacancies across the district. That levy runs through mid-2027, with a renewal being placed before voters in November 2026. Separately, the county's Penny for Pasco sales tax, renewed in 2022, directs capital funding to new school construction and renovations, which matters given how fast enrollment is growing in the area. Families considering homes in newer Land O' Lakes master-planned communities should also be aware that attendance zone boundaries in growth areas of the county have been actively adjusted, and rezoning is possible as development continues.
