Summary:
The 32817 zip code area of Orlando, Florida is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the schools in this area serve a diverse student population, with a significant Hispanic and African American representation, there are stark contrasts in their academic performance and overall quality.
The standout school in the area is Arbor Ridge K-8, which consistently ranks in the top 25% of Florida elementary schools and boasts exceptional test scores, with 100% proficiency in Algebra 1 and Geometry. In contrast, Union Park Middle and the two charter schools, Ucp Bailes Community Academy and Orange County Preparatory Academy Charter, struggle with lower proficiency rates, particularly in math and science.
The data also reveals that socioeconomic status plays a significant role in student outcomes, with schools serving a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by free/reduced lunch rates, generally performing worse than their more affluent counterparts. This highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying factors contributing to the performance gaps within the Orange school district.
