[edit] School Discussion

As I do not know about Valrico, Florida, I cannot confirm that Bloomingdale High School is the only high school in the area, though that seems to be the case. If anyone wishes to put school information back into this page, please consider the following recommendations:

  • The section should not be the first section in the page - the schools in an area are not that important.
  • The section should be more general - with (probably) only one high school, why does that high school merit an entire section? Thus it would make sense for the section to include all the other schools in the area. This could be added in with education demographics to possibly create a "Education" section, which would be more informative.
  • The information should be more meaningful than (paraphrasing from memory) "... was an 'A' school in ...". This really means nothing to me, and probably means nothing to most people in the world, as this grade system is apparently specific to Florida.

I've moved this down and put it under a section entitled "Education". Putting schools which aren't in Valrico, Florida in this section would seem inappropriate. Other than that, feel free to expand. anthony (see warning) 18:09, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Bloomingdale is the only school in the Valrico limits, although there are others just outside. I'll try to find some info on the middle and elementery schools here. Go B-Dale Bulls! Amerika 10:11, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Some teenagers who live in Valrico, especially the eastern part, attend Durant High School; other area schools include Newsome High School, and possibly others, according to random browsing on the Hillsborough County Public Schools website. I feel that school districts that lie inside the town limits should be included, not just the school's physical location, but that is open to debate. --130.126.130.164 02:10, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
Debate? it should be the schools located within the physical location. You talk about children in one area going to other schools in another community, That's happening throughout Hillsborough County. I lived in Tampa and when I was in the 8th grade, they sent me to a shool in Brandon. I don't think it makes sense to put Brandon's schools in the Tampa article. I agree with Amerika on this point --Moreau36 18:47, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
