An overview of Lithia public schools
The federal directory lists 7 public schools in Lithia, FL: 4 elementary, 2 middle, 1 high. The 7 schools that reported 2024–25 membership enrolled 9,103 students, an average of 1,300 per school. The largest campus is Newsome High School (3,157 students), and the largest elementary school is Fishhawk Creek Elementary School (921).
Every listed school belongs to Hillsborough. City names come from school mailing addresses, which often differ from district or municipal boundaries.
Across schools that reported staffing, the median student–teacher ratio is 15.8:1, lower than the statewide school median of 16.8:1. A ratio counts classroom-teacher FTE against total enrollment, so specialized programs and part-time staffing can move it; ask schools for actual class sizes by grade.
About 19% of students in reporting schools were eligible for free or reduced-price meals in 2024–25. This describes the community served; it is not a quality signal, and community-eligibility schools can report differently.
