An overview of Orlando public schools

The federal directory lists 204 public schools in Orlando, FL: 125 elementary, 31 middle, 37 high, 11 combined or other. The 202 schools that reported 2024–25 membership enrolled 152,534 students, an average of 755 per school. The largest campus is Florida Virtual High School (4,331 students), and the largest elementary school is Florida Virtual Elementary School (2,145).

Orange operates the most schools here (200), and 2 regular districts have at least one Orlando campus, plus 1 charter, service, or other agency. City names come from school mailing addresses, which often differ from district or municipal boundaries.

Across schools that reported staffing, the median student–teacher ratio is 15.8:1, lower than the statewide school median of 16.8:1. A ratio counts classroom-teacher FTE against total enrollment, so specialized programs and part-time staffing can move it; ask schools for actual class sizes by grade.

School choice options include 31 charter schools, 24 magnet schools, 6 virtual schools. Application windows and lotteries usually open months before the school year.

Among 37 high and combined schools with 2021–22 civil-rights data, 17 reported students enrolled in AP courses and 7 of 40 reported computer-science classes. Confirm current course catalogs directly with each school.

About 42% of students in reporting schools were eligible for free or reduced-price meals in 2024–25. This describes the community served; it is not a quality signal, and community-eligibility schools can report differently.
