Hunter's Creek Elementary is an OCPS PK-5 public school at the heart of Orlando's Hunter's Creek master-planned community — home of the Panthers, a Gifted & Talented program, and one of the district's few Two-Way Dual Language magnets at the elementary level.

Hunter's Creek Elementary sits at the civic center of Hunter's Creek — one of southwest Orange County's largest master-planned communities, about 20 minutes from both Walt Disney World and Orlando International Airport. The school draws students from the surrounding Hunter's Creek neighborhoods as well as district-wide applicants seeking its Two-Way Dual Language magnet, which integrates native English and native Spanish speakers in the same classroom from Kindergarten. The campus also serves identified Gifted & Talented students, making it a destination school beyond its immediate attendance zone.

Academic programs

  • Two-Way Dual Language Magnet — Spanish-English immersion, K-5, district-wide open enrollment
  • Gifted & Talented program — referral + assessment-based, available K-5
  • Florida BEST Standards — English Language Arts and Mathematics
  • FAST (Florida Assessment of Student Thinking) — annual state assessment
  • ESE Support Services — exceptional student education resources on campus
  • ESOL / Multilingual Learner support
  • Physical Education — daily PE included
  • Visual and Performing Arts — art and music integrated into curriculum

How to enroll

Zoned students enroll automatically via OCPS based on home address. The Two-Way Dual Language magnet accepts district-wide applicants through the OCPS School Choice portal — students typically enter at Kindergarten (limited consideration for higher grades with language assessment). Bus transportation is not provided for magnet seats outside the home zone. Gifted & Talented placement follows a referral and assessment process available to enrolled students. Verify zone assignment for any specific address using the OCPS "Find My School" tool at ocps.net.

What makes it stand out

The Two-Way Dual Language program is the differentiator. Most OCPS elementary magnets are gifted-only or subject-focused; Hunter's Creek ES runs a full Spanish-English bilingual strand where both language groups learn alongside each other. Students exit 5th grade reading, writing, and doing math in both languages — a credential that follows them through Hunter's Creek Middle's continuation dual-language program.

What neighborhoods are zoned for Hunter's Creek Elementary?

Hunter's Creek Elementary serves portions of the Hunter's Creek master-planned community in southwest Orange County (ZIP 32837) — generally the central core near Town Center Boulevard. Hunter's Creek is large enough that four separate OCPS elementary campuses divide it up: Hunter's Creek ES, West Creek ES, Endeavor ES, and Waterbridge ES.
