Type: Districtwide zoneless gifted magnet — Florida gifted Education Plan required at application; seats via OCPS magnet / School Choice (not address-based).

• Orlando Gifted Academy is zoneless. Living nearby does not guarantee a seat.
• At application, the student must be eligible as gifted and receiving services via a Florida Education Plan (OCPS FAQs: applicants who are not current OCPS students provide a copy of their Florida Education Plan). Confirm current eligibility rules on Magnet Program & Scholastic Academy FAQs and Orlando Gifted Academy.
• Apply through the OCPS centralized magnet / School Choice application. If more eligible students apply than seats, OCPS uses a computerized lottery — see School Choice FAQs. Eligibility criteria and the application window change each cycle — confirm on the live Magnet Programs pages and the school site.
• OCPS does not provide transportation for this magnet — families are responsible for arranging transportation.
• Admit rate: Not publicly available.

Never treat social media dates as official. Use School Choice Services and the school site.

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

• White ≈ 60% · Black ≈ 8% · Asian ≈ 21% · Two or more ≈ 10% · Hispanic ethnicity ≈ 20% (ethnicity; may overlap race categories above)
• Total enrollment about 510 students
• Student mix score: 58.0 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.
