School Districts Serving Brentwood Hills
Hillsborough County Public Schools serves as a vital but highly divided community anchor, reflecting a classic Mixed/Transition profile. Under the steady leadership of Superintendent Van Ayres, the district has made positive strides, earning a solid B grade from the state and achieving a record-high graduation rate of over 90 percent. A major milestone in community trust occurred in late 2024 when voters approved a critical millage referendum to boost teacher salaries alongside the renewal of the Community Investment Tax, providing a massive financial lift to a district that previously struggled with budget deficits and staff retention. Families are drawn to prestigious flagship campuses like Plant High School, Steinbrenner High School, and Newsome High School, which are celebrated for their rigorous academic programs and college preparation. However, home buyers should be aware of a stark divide in educational quality across the county, with high-performing suburban schools contrasting with lower-performing urban campuses. Additionally, the district faces enrollment pressures from a growing homeschooling trend and charter school competition, alongside potential governance changes as state lawmakers push to transition the superintendent role to an elected position by 2028.
