“Memorial Middle School is a Hillsborough County public middle school in Old Seminole Heights, one of Tampa's most distinctive in-town neighborhoods — a century-old building serving grades 6–8 one block south of Hillsborough High School.”
Memorial sits at 4702 N Central Avenue in Old Seminole Heights, literally one block south of Hillsborough High School — the feeder it sends most of its graduates to. The building dates to 1925, went through a major renovation in 1999–2000, and was rededicated in 2001. The school draws from one of Tampa's most active urban neighborhoods: craftsman bungalows, walkable streets, and one of the city's strongest neighborhood-association cultures. For buyers, the zone is primarily the Seminole Heights corridor — 33603 and parts of 33605 — where the housing stock skews 1920s–1940s bungalows and prices run significantly below South Tampa water.

What makes it stand out
The building itself is worth noting — a 1925 structure in the heart of Old Seminole Heights, one of Tampa's most architecturally intact urban neighborhoods. AVID is the academic differentiator: a structured college-readiness program aimed at first-generation college students. Families who buy in Seminole Heights for the neighborhood get the school as part of the package — buyers should evaluate it eyes open on the GreatSchools score while noting that the score indexes test proficiency, not classroom culture.

Frequently asked about Memorial Middle School
What neighborhoods are zoned for Memorial Middle School?
The zone covers Old Seminole Heights and the broader Seminole Heights corridor — primarily ZIP 33603 and parts of 33605, bounded roughly by I-275 to the south, Nebraska Avenue to the east, and the Hillsborough River watershed to the west. Address-specific confirmation is at the HCPS School Finder (hillsboroughschools.org) or by calling (813) 272-4692. Zone boundaries shift; always verify before closing.
How do I enroll at Memorial Middle School?
Enrollment is automatic for in-zone residents — no application required. Bring proof of residence (utility bill or lease), immunization records, and prior school records to HCPS Student Registration. Out-of-zone families can apply for school choice transfer through HCPS, subject to capacity. The school does not have a magnet or application-based strand.
What is the median home price zoned for Memorial Middle School?
Homes in the Memorial Middle zone sit mostly in Old Seminole Heights (33603), where the median sale price was around $462K as of early 2026 per Redfin. The stock is dominated by 1920s–1940s craftsman bungalows, typically 3BR / 1–2BA, 1,000–1,600 sq ft. It's meaningfully more affordable than South Tampa or Hyde Park while being about 10 minutes from downtown. Run a zone-filtered search for current active inventory.
How does Memorial Middle compare to Coleman Middle or Stewart Middle Magnet?
Stewart Middle Magnet is a Hillsborough County magnet school with a selective application process and a significantly higher GreatSchools rating — it's a different product aimed at families who apply district-wide. Coleman Middle is the closest zoned peer. For buyers who want a higher-rated zoned middle school in Tampa, the Adams Middle zone (South Tampa, 33611) tends to rate higher but also carries a steep price premium. Memorial is the affordable, in-town alternative — buy for the neighborhood, understand the school on its own terms.
What high school does Memorial Middle feed into?
The primary feeder is Hillsborough High School, located one block north at 5000 N Central Avenue — students can literally walk between the two campuses. Hillsborough High is a magnet school with IB and AP programs alongside the standard curriculum. GreatSchools rates it 3/10 overall, but the IB track within it earns a different profile. Families whose students access the IB Diploma Programme at Hillsborough High are in a different experience from the general program — worth researching separately.
