“Liberty Middle School is an OCPS Cambridge magnet serving southeast Orlando — a district-wide program drawing students from Chickasaw, Rio Pinar, Azalea Park, and Union Park with a focus on rigorous high school-level coursework in grades 6 through 8.”
Liberty Middle sits on Chickasaw Trail in southeast Orlando, originally built in 1976 as a junior high and now operating as one of OCPS's Cambridge magnet middle schools. The school draws students from the Rio Pinar, Azalea Park, Chickasaw, Union Park, and Waterford Lakes corridors — both as zoned students and district-wide magnet applicants. Its Cambridge program is the primary draw: it treats 6th-8th grade as a launchpad for rigorous coursework, emphasizing research projects, written analysis, and practical oral labs that mirror high school and early college demands.
Academic programs
- Cambridge International Programme — rigorous high school-level coursework with research and inquiry focus
- Project Lead the Way (PLTW) — engineering and STEM design pathway

How to enroll
Zoned students enroll automatically via OCPS address assignment. The Cambridge magnet program is open to all OCPS students district-wide through the OCPS School Choice portal — a recommended 2.5 GPA is listed as the eligibility benchmark. Note: transportation is not provided for magnet students outside the attendance zone. Apply through ocps.net/school-choice during the annual choice window.
What makes it stand out
The Cambridge program is what sets Liberty Middle apart from other OCPS middle schools in the corridor. The curriculum expects students to write, argue, research, and present at a level closer to high school than a typical 6th-grade classroom — families who prioritize academic challenge in a public school setting seek it out specifically.

How do I apply to the Liberty Middle Cambridge magnet?

Applications go through the OCPS School Choice portal (ocps.net/school-choice) during the annual choice window, typically open in fall for the following school year. A 2.5 GPA is the recommended baseline. Transportation is not provided — families outside the zone are responsible for getting students to and from campus.
What's the median home price zoned for Liberty Middle?
Homes in the 32829 zip code (which covers most of the Liberty Middle zone) have a median sale price around $400K based on recent transaction data, with the Chickasaw Oaks sub-neighborhood trending closer to $490K. The area is primarily single-family homes from the 1980s-2000s on larger lots. These are zone-approximate figures — a boundary-filtered search will give you the most accurate picture for a specific address.
Is Liberty Middle School safe?
Liberty Middle follows standard OCPS safety protocols: school resource officer on campus, controlled entry during school hours, and ID badging. The surrounding Chickasaw Trail corridor is a stable, established southeast Orlando residential neighborhood — not a high-crime area. The school's demographic mix (74% Hispanic, high free/reduced lunch rate) reflects the surrounding community, not any particular safety concern.
How does Liberty Middle compare to nearby OCPS middle schools?
Liberty Middle's Cambridge magnet program is its distinguishing feature — most OCPS middle schools in the east Orlando corridor don't offer Cambridge. On raw test scores, Liberty Middle tracks near the district average. Families choosing between Liberty Middle and a school like Conway Middle or Meadow Woods Middle are often deciding between magnet access (Liberty) vs. a zoned school closer to home. If the Cambridge academic structure fits your student, the commute to Chickasaw Trail is typically worth it.
