Meadow Woods Elementary School

No. The Orange County School Board voted on March 10, 2026 to close Meadow Woods Elementary as part of a seven-school consolidation due to declining enrollment. The school closed in August 2026. Students in the former attendance zone are now assigned to Oakshire Elementary, Southwood Elementary, or Wyndham Lakes Elementary for the 2026-27 school year. Use the OCPS Find My School tool at ocps.net to confirm your address-specific assignment.

The former Meadow Woods Elementary attendance zone was split among three OCPS elementary schools: Oakshire Elementary, Southwood Elementary, and Wyndham Lakes Elementary. The exact address-to-school mapping is determined by OCPS and may vary by subdivision. Check ocps.net/school-rezonings or use the Find My School tool before making an offer on a home in the 32824 ZIP.

Homes in the Meadow Woods 32824 area were selling at a median around $420K-$447K in early-to-mid 2025, with average days on market near 44 days. The zone closure does not change property values directly — the neighborhood is still south Orlando's Meadow Woods community, with good access to OIA, the 417, and Lake Nona. The rezoning shifts which OCPS elementary your kids attend, which is worth factoring into a school-driven home search.

OCPS cited declining enrollment driven by three factors: falling local birthrates, expensive housing in the surrounding area (which shifted demographics), and Florida's universal voucher program drawing students to private schools. The school had an enrollment of roughly 660 when it closed — below the threshold OCPS considers cost-efficient for a standalone campus. The board approved the closure in March 2026 as part of a package that also closed McCoy ES, Bonneville ES, Orlo Vista ES, Chickasaw ES, Eccleston ES, and Union Park Middle.

The Meadow Woods 32824 neighborhood remains a solid south Orlando value play — affordable relative to Lake Nona (minutes east) and Dr. Phillips (15 miles north), with direct access to OIA, SR-417, and the Osceola Parkway. The elementary rezoning means buyers now need to check OCPS to confirm which school (Oakshire, Southwood, or Wyndham Lakes) serves their specific address, rather than defaulting to Meadow Woods Elementary. All three replacement schools are worth researching independently.
