The top reported proficiency rate is 79% in Math. The lowest is 73% in English language arts.
Original Research by School Decision on Eagle Creek Elementary
Eagle Creek Elementary sits in the 32832 zip code of East Orlando, a suburban pocket that sits apart from both the tourist corridor in the southwest and the denser urban core downtown. The school serves prekindergarten through fifth grade as a regular public school within the Orange County district, and its enrollment places it at the larger end for an elementary school of its grade span.
The academic picture here is genuinely strong by Florida standards. On the most recent FAST assessments, third graders posted math proficiency rates that were notably high, and scores across fourth and fifth grade in both math and ELA remained well above what most Florida elementary schools achieve. Fifth grade science results also came in solidly. When the school's overall proficiency index is placed relative to districts in Orange County, it lands in the top quartile, meaning it outperforms the other measurable Orange County district entities by a clear margin. A sixth grade math result was suppressed in the state data, likely because the school serves only a small number of students at that grade level given its PK-5 structure; parents should not read that gap as a weak result. No multi-year trend data was available in the state reporting, so how these scores have moved over time is not possible to characterize here.
The student body is majority Hispanic, with white students making up roughly the next largest share and a meaningful Asian-enrolled population as well. The school is not a Title I school, and only a modest share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, which reflects the relative economic stability of the surrounding East Orlando suburban neighborhoods. IEP and English learner population data were not reported in the available data, so parents with children who have special education needs or language support needs may want to ask the school directly about those programs and staffing.
The housing market around this school is among the pricier corners of the Orlando metro. Home values in the immediate zip code sit well above the Florida statewide median and noticeably above the national median, though values have edged slightly downward year over year. Rents are also elevated, running close to the national affordability threshold as a share of income. Anyone considering this attendance zone should budget accordingly; it is not a low-cost entry point into Orange County.
East Orlando more broadly reads as car-dependent and suburban, developed across the past few decades with master-planned communities, retail corridors, and limited transit. It is geographically removed from the walkable neighborhoods near downtown, the Lake Eola area, or the Creative Village district where UCF and Valencia College now anchor a denser urban core. The area does benefit from proximity to Orlando International Airport and the broader employment base that spans healthcare, tourism, and aerospace across the metro. Universal's Epic Universe, which publicly reported opened in 2025, is expanding regional tourism employment to the southwest, and the airport is mid-expansion, both of which reinforce the region's general economic momentum even if that activity is not centered in East Orlando itself.
District-level information from Orange County schools was searched but no recently confirmed parent-relevant changes were found in time to include, so that context is left out rather than approximated.
For a family prioritizing strong tested academic outcomes at the elementary level in a suburban East Orlando setting, Eagle Creek presents a compelling case on the available evidence. The proficiency results across math, ELA, and science are among the strongest in the county comparison set, the school is not under economic stress as measured by lunch eligibility, and the surrounding community is stable if expensive. The main things a parent would want to explore directly are special education and EL services, given the data gaps there, and how the school's program connects to the middle school pathway that follows fifth grade.
