Audubon Park School, Orlando FL - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Audubon Park School

Audubon Park School sits on Falcon Drive in the 32803 zip code, a part of Orlando that encompasses the older, walkable inner neighborhoods east of downtown, places like Park Lake Highland and the Milk District where 1920s bungalows line tree-shaded streets and small commercial strips are accessible on foot. The school serves pre-kindergarten through eighth grade, making it one of the few public schools in Orange County where a child can stay from the earliest years through the end of middle school without changing campuses.

Academically, the school performs well above the midpoint relative to districts in Orange County, and the state assessment data backs that up clearly. Florida's FAST assessments and the state science test are reported across multiple grade levels here, and proficiency rates in math, English language arts, and science are consistently high across the grade band. Math results are particularly strong, with the third-grade and eighth-grade cohorts reaching especially high levels of proficiency, and no grade-level math result falls below what would be considered a solid majority. ELA results run slightly below the math figures at most grade levels but remain well above typical state averages. Fifth-grade science proficiency is very high, and eighth-grade science holds nearly as well. Across the board, this is a school whose tested outcomes would be a draw for families prioritizing academic attainment.

The student body is on the larger side for a PK-8 school, with enrollment spread fairly evenly across grades. The school's population is majority white, with Hispanic students making up roughly a fifth of enrollment, Black students a smaller share, and students of two or more races and Asian students rounding out the mix. A relatively modest share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, which is low by Orange County public school standards. Data on English learner identification rates and IEP rates were not reported in the data we have, so families with children who need specialized services should ask the school directly about program depth and staffing.

No program offerings were provided in the data, so details about enrichment, arts, athletics, or extracurricular options are a gap here. A parent should look into those specifics directly with the school, particularly for middle-grade students considering what the transition to high school will look like from an eighth-grade exit point.

The surrounding zip code's housing market reflects the desirability of the area. Home values sit well above the state median and have held relatively steady, with a modest year-over-year softening. Rents have nudged upward over the same period. The price-to-income ratio suggests that buying near the school requires a meaningful financial commitment, and estimated monthly mortgage costs on a typical home in the area run noticeably higher than renting. For families already in the neighborhood, those dynamics reinforce the appeal of staying; for those considering a move specifically to access the school, the housing cost picture is worth modeling carefully.

Orlando itself is growing, and the inner-city neighborhoods around this school are positioned differently from the suburban growth corridors to the west and south. The area is relatively stable residentially, and the school's enrollment pattern across grade levels reflects that. The parent district is Orange County Public Schools, and we searched for recent district-level policy or operational changes relevant to families but did not find confirmed lasting changes to report.

The school's structure, a single campus carrying a child from age four through eighth grade, is a characteristic some families find genuinely appealing for the continuity it provides. Others may want to think through what peer transitions look like entering ninth grade at a separate high school after spending the full elementary and middle stretch in one building. That is a question of family preference, not a flaw in the school's design, and the strong academic results suggest the preparation is there.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
