How families get in

Type: Zoned OCPS neighborhood K–8 school — assigned by home address (not a lottery or magnet application school for the comprehensive program).

  • Students who live in the attendance zone attend here. Confirm your address with OCPS Find My School before buying or renting for a school.
  • Living elsewhere in Orange County: magnet or other school-choice seats at other campuses are a separate process — see Magnet Programs. This campus’s comprehensive seats are address-based.
  • Admit rate: Not applicable for zoned enrollment.

Never treat social media dates as official.

Who it tends to fit

Good match when

  • You live in the Audubon Park zone and want a continuous K–8 campus instead of a separate elementary and middle school.
  • Your student would benefit from staying with familiar peers and staff across elementary into middle grades.
  • You prefer address-based enrollment without applying to a magnet.

Think twice when

  • You need a districtwide magnet theme (arts, STEM, gifted magnet, etc.) — compare Magnet Programs hosts; this campus’s comprehensive seats are zoned.
  • Your student may need a smaller or specialized setting — ask how counseling and classrooms support individual students across grade bands.
  • You live outside the zone and need a guaranteed seat without school choice.

Students

Race/ethnicity mix (OCPS enrollment data; not a school ranking):

  • White ≈ 79% · Black ≈ 7% · Asian ≈ 5% · Two or more ≈ 9% · Hispanic ethnicity ≈ 19% (ethnicity; may overlap race categories above)
  • Total enrollment about 1,265 students
  • Student mix score: 36.0 out of 100 (OCPS K–8 schools overall: 49.1) — the chance that two randomly chosen students are from different racial groups; 0 = all one group, higher = more mixed. This guide’s own measure, 100 × (1 − Σ group share²), from official federal race enrollment counts — not a Florida DOE rating, and it does not reflect income or education. Hispanic ethnicity is shown separately above because OCPS reports race and ethnicity as distinct fields.

Location / daily life

Falcon Drive in Audubon Park / Orlando. OCPS buses generally serve students who live two or more miles from their assigned (zoned) school — confirm eligibility on OCPS Transportation FAQs and Find My Bus.
