East Tampa School By bringing the best of what science tells us about how young minds learn, we launched a K2nd school in 2017 to improve learning outcomes in one of the lowest income communities in Florida. Our mission was to solve the problem of 80% of students failing by third grade in the nearby school. In our first year, the majority of our students achieved grade level or higher. Our students had more than a year's growth and our school was among the better performing schools in the 9th largest school district in the US. The School program was discontinued as of June 30, 3022.
