“Princeton Elementary is a 9/10-rated OCPS school in the heart of College Park — one of the few Orlando elementary schools where parents can walk their kids to class through a historic neighborhood of oak-shaded brick streets.”
Princeton Elementary sits on a six-acre campus in the College Park neighborhood of Orlando — a walkable, tree-lined community of brick streets and craftsman bungalows just north of downtown. The current campus blends a renovated 1926 Howard Reynolds-designed landmark building (Mediterranean-style detailing, 437-seat auditorium) with a newer 86,000-square-foot multi-story addition completed in 2014. It is one of the few Orlando elementary schools where neighborhood parents can genuinely walk their children to school.

How to enroll
Automatic enrollment via OCPS based on home address. Princeton Elementary serves the College Park attendance zone — boundary runs roughly along I-4 to the east, Princeton Street corridor to the south, and Edgewater Drive to the west. For address-specific boundary confirmation, use the OCPS Find My School tool at ocps.net.
What makes it stand out
The 1926 Howard Reynolds landmark building — same architect who shaped much of early Orlando — gives Princeton a sense of place most new-construction schools can't replicate. The campus renovation preserved the Mediterranean-style auditorium while adding a modern learning wing. Combined with the walkable College Park neighborhood and a 9/10 GreatSchools rating, it's the reason home prices inside this zone carry a measurable premium.

Frequently asked about Princeton Elementary School
What neighborhoods are zoned for Princeton Elementary?
Princeton Elementary serves the College Park attendance zone in Orlando — the historic walkable neighborhood north of downtown bounded roughly by I-4 to the east, Lake Ivanhoe to the south, and the Edgewater Drive corridor to the west. College Park proper, including streets like Virginia Drive, Par Street, and the brick-street blocks around Albert Park, feed into Princeton. For address-specific confirmation, use the OCPS Find My School tool at ocps.net — zone lines can be street-by-street.
How do I enroll my child at Princeton Elementary?
Princeton Elementary is a zoned public school — if your home address falls inside the attendance boundary, enrollment is automatic through OCPS. Registration opens each spring for the following school year. Families moving into the zone mid-year can enroll at any point. Princeton does not have a magnet or application process; zone address is the only admission requirement.
What is the median home price zoned for Princeton Elementary?
College Park homes inside the Princeton zone have been running a median list price around $600,000 as of April 2026, with closed sales averaging closer to $578K over the trailing year. The range is wide — bungalows on the smaller brick-street lots start in the $400s while larger lakefront and renovated Craftsman homes push $1M+. College Park moves faster than the Orlando metro average; expect competitive offers on anything well-priced.
Is Princeton Elementary a safe school?
Princeton Elementary follows standard OCPS security protocols — controlled campus access during school hours, staff badge system, and coordination with Orange County law enforcement. The surrounding College Park neighborhood is consistently one of the lower-crime areas in the city, partly because of its walkable, owner-occupied character. The school's 84% regular attendance rate (vs. 69% state average) is a reliable signal of family confidence in the environment.
How does Princeton Elementary compare to Audubon Park Elementary?
Both are top-performing OCPS elementary schools in established Orlando neighborhoods. Princeton scores a 9/10 on GreatSchools and is deep in College Park's walkable brick-street character. Audubon Park Elementary (Mills 50 / Audubon Park neighborhood) also earns strong ratings and feeds a similarly creative, walkable community. The practical difference is usually which zone your specific address falls in — both are sought-after, and homes in either zone carry a premium over the wider metro market.
