“NorthLake Park Community School is a top-rated OCPS elementary co-located with the Lake Nona YMCA — a public-private model that gives students access to athletic facilities, swim instruction, and enrichment programs all under one roof.”
NorthLake Park sits inside the NorthLake Park neighborhood — a section of the larger Lake Nona master-planned community off Northlake Parkway, about 15 minutes from Orlando International Airport. The campus has always operated under a shared-facility model with the Lake Nona YMCA, which means PE, after-school enrichment, and swim programming happen inside the same building as core academics. Test scores run well above state averages in math, reading, and science, and the school holds an OCPS School of Excellence designation.
Academic programs
- Cambridge International Curriculum (school-wide)
- Gifted & Talented program
- STEM instruction with inquiry-based lab work
- English Language Arts and Literacy Initiative
- Social-Emotional Learning support
- Before and after school enrichment (YMCA partnership)
How to enroll
Automatic enrollment via OCPS based on residential address — NorthLake Park Community School is a zoned neighborhood school with no magnet application. Confirm your address falls in the attendance zone at ocps.net before making an offer. Pre-K enrollment is capacity-based; contact the school directly for pre-K availability.
What makes it stand out
The YMCA co-location is the standout. No busing, no separate facility — students walk from their classroom to the pool, gym, or fitness center. It is a genuinely rare setup: one of the first public-school-plus-rec-center co-builds in the country, and it has run continuously since 1999. For families who care about both academics (10/10 GreatSchools) and access to quality after-school programming, this school delivers both without paying private-school tuition.

The school's 83% regular attendance rate (compared to a 69% state average) is a meaningful proxy for campus climate: families are voting with their attendance record. The YMCA co-location also means the campus is an active community hub outside school hours, which tends to correlate with safer built environments.
