Fish Hawk sits within one of the highest-performing school clusters in Hillsborough County. All six public schools in the zone carry a Florida Department of Education A rating, and several rank in the top 5% of elementary schools statewide. School zone assignment is based on your specific address — not just the neighborhood name — so always verify through the HCPS School Locator before making a purchase decision.

School zone assignment varies by address

The public school zone for your child is determined by your specific street address, not the neighborhood name. Two homes a block apart can be zoned differently. Always verify your zone through the official HCPS School Locator before making a purchase decision — especially if a specific school is a priority.
