Maximo Elementary School

The attendance zone covers the south St. Petersburg corridor around Maximo Point, including Tropical Shores, portions of Maximo Moorings, and surrounding streets in the 33712 zip code. Zone edges shift periodically — confirm your specific address at asd.pcsb.org/PubInfo/ before making an offer. Tropical Shores is the most prominent named neighborhood in the zone and already has a community profile on this site.

Enrollment is automatic if your home address falls in the Maximo attendance zone — no application or lottery required. Contact the school at (727) 893-2191 or visit maximo-es.pcsb.org to start enrollment. New residents should bring proof of address, immunization records, and prior school records.

Tropical Shores, the most active neighborhood in the zone, skews toward waterfront and canal-front properties that routinely trade north of K–.1M+. Non-waterfront ranch homes on interior streets typically run K–K. The zone includes a range of price points — the school boundary itself does not determine price tier, lot access to Boca Ciega Bay does.

Maximo Elementary uses the standard Pinellas County Schools security posture: controlled access during school hours, visitor check-in, and ID screening. The surrounding Maximo Point and Tropical Shores area is a quiet residential peninsula with low through-traffic — the waterfront geography naturally limits drive-through volume compared to busier St. Pete corridors.

Both are south Pinellas public elementaries with similar demographics and Title I designations. Gulfport Elementary draws from the Gulfport arts-district community; Maximo draws from Tropical Shores and Maximo Point. Ratings are comparable. The decision for most buyers comes down to which specific address falls in which zone — there is no clear academic advantage either way based on publicly available data.
