“Meadow Woods Middle School is an Orange County public middle school serving the Meadow Woods corridor of south Orlando, with a Project Lead The Way engineering track and a district "Lighthouse school" designation.”
Meadow Woods Middle opened in 1998 and anchors the Meadow Woods corridor of south Orlando, just east of the 417 between Hunter's Creek and the airport. It draws from a string of zoned elementary schools — Meadow Woods, Oakshire, Wetherbee, Wyndham Lakes and others — and feeds into Cypress Creek High. The Stallions are an OCPS "Lighthouse school," and the campus runs Project Lead The Way engineering coursework alongside a Gifted program and Read 180 literacy support.
Academic programs
- Project Lead The Way (PLTW) engineering pathway
- Gifted program
- Read 180 literacy intervention (Read 180 Challenge award)
- Spanish world-language instruction

How to enroll
Zoned students enroll automatically through OCPS based on their home address — register at the school with proof of residency and the OCPS document checklist. There is no application or audition; confirm your address falls in the Meadow Woods Middle attendance zone at ocps.net before relying on it.
What makes it stand out
Meadow Woods Middle is noted by OCPS as the only middle school in the district to hold the "Lighthouse school" designation, and it pairs that with a Project Lead The Way engineering track — an unusually hands-on STEM pathway for a zoned (non-magnet) middle school.
Extracurriculars
- Interscholastic sports program

How does Meadow Woods Middle compare to South Creek Middle?
Both are zoned OCPS middle schools in south Orlando that feed into Cypress Creek High, so for many buyers the choice comes down to which side of the attendance line an address sits on. Meadow Woods Middle carries a GreatSchools 5/10 and a Florida "B" grade with a Project Lead The Way engineering track. Ratings shift year to year and index heavily on test scores rather than fit — there's no single better school, just the one your address is zoned for.
