Oak Ridge High School

The attendance zone covers south Orlando along the West Oak Ridge Road and S Orange Blossom Trail corridor — broadly the Sky Lake, Pine Castle, and Oak Ridge neighborhoods around the 32809 zip code, with feeder elementaries including Palmetto, Sadler, and Shingle Creek. For an address-specific confirmation, use the OCPS Find My School tool at ocps.net or call the school at (407) 852-3200. Boundaries can shift with annual OCPS rezoning reviews.

If you live in the zone, your student is automatically enrolled at Oak Ridge — no application needed for the base high school. To join one of the career academies (Aviation and Aerospace Engineering, Digital Media and Gaming, or Hospitality Management), apply through the OCPS magnet and school-choice process; application windows and any program criteria are posted at ocps.net and on the school site at oakridgehs.ocps.net. Call (407) 852-3200 to confirm current deadlines.

Homes in the Oak Ridge and Sky Lake area of the 32809 zip code have a median sale price around $320,000 as of late 2025 into 2026, up roughly 8% year over year.

Oak Ridge carries a 4/10 GreatSchools rating and a B on Niche, with a graduation rate around 94% — above the Florida average. State test-score proficiency runs below state averages, which is what pulls the GreatSchools number down. Those ratings index standardized test scores, not the strength of the academy programs, athletics, or the experience of a specific student. Treat them as a starting point, not a verdict, and visit before you decide.

Both are large OCPS high schools serving south Orlando. Oak Ridge (off West Oak Ridge Road, near OBT) is older — opened in 1959 — and built around career academies in aviation, digital media, and hospitality, serving the Sky Lake and Pine Castle area. Cypress Creek sits farther southeast around Meadow Woods and Wyndham Lakes and historically ran an IB magnet that is being phased out. For buyers, the deciding factor is usually which zone a specific address falls in — confirm with the OCPS Find My School tool before assuming either.
