Rampello K-8

Rampello K-8 Downtown Partnership Magnet School is the only public school located in the heart of downtown Tampa. Our magnet focus is cultural arts and humanities: experiencing the arts and sciences of downtown. With this, we allow our students to take what they are learning and experience it in the real world, fully taking advantage of our surrounding area. We have various partnerships with neighboring businesses: The Straz Performing Arts Center, Tampa Aquarium, Children's Glazer Museum, Art Museum, Tampa Bay History Museum, and much more. Our students leave us with a broadened horizon and a sense of the possibilities available to them in the future. We supplement this with our nationally recognized AVID program, a title only we have earned within the entire Hillsborough County District. This is a college-ready program that teaches children that, no matter where they come from, everyone has the capabilities of going to college. Our teachers are all trained to teach the students tools to help them be successful in high school, college, and beyond, including successful note-taking skills, study habits, organizational skills, collaborative skills, and much more. By the time our students leave us in 8th grade, they have an idea of the direction they'd like to go in the future, and the skills to allow them to make those goals happen.
