  6. #5 Best Public Elementary Schools in Hillsborough CountyBevis Elementary SchoolHillsborough, FL•PK, K-5•Rating 4.75 out of 5 12 reviewsParent: Best school. Moved from NY and was concerned with the schools, but Bevis put my mind at ease. The principal is amazing and has an amazing team! I have had 3 of my kids in there and 1 more to go.. wish there were more clubs, that is really the only thing I would change. Very organized and safe. A lot of military families from the near by Airforce Base. The school counselor is very involved and helps the students with a lot. Most if the teachers are fantastic. The funding in FL is extremely low which makes the teachers pay low and they do need a lot more supplies and donations then where we are from originally, which is not fair to put that on the teachers and not pay them enough. Bevis is great with accommodations for the students individual needs. Has an additional program for kids who are ahead of the game as well.. there is a preschool right next door, not affiliated with each other but they prep the students and work in concerned with each for smooth transitions. Go broncos!!!!!!...
