PATRICIA SULLIVAN METROPOLITAN MINISTRIES PARTNERSHIP SCHOOL is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the HILLSBOROUGH school district, located in TAMPA, FL with about 91 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 16 teachers, PATRICIA SULLIVAN METROPOLITAN MINISTRIES PARTNERSHIP SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 5:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The **PATRICIA SULLIVAN METROPOLITAN MINISTRIES PARTNERSHIP SCHOOL** is a unique educational facility located in downtown Tampa, Florida, operating as a collaborative initiative between the Hillsborough County Public Schools district and Metropolitan Ministries. Unlike a traditional neighborhood school, this institution is specifically designed to provide stability and support for children residing at the Metropolitan Ministries campus, which serves families experiencing homelessness or housing instability. By integrating education directly with social services, the school aims to minimize academic disruption for students during periods of family transition.

The school’s curriculum is tailored to address the diverse needs of its student population, emphasizing a trauma-informed approach to teaching and learning. Beyond standard academics, the partnership model facilitates access to essential resources, including counseling, health services, and community support, ensuring that students have a consistent and nurturing environment regardless of their family’s housing status. By fostering a close-knit, supportive atmosphere, the school works to remove barriers to education and set these students on a path toward long-term academic success.
