Roberto Clemente Middle School

The attendance zone covers the Engelwood Park neighborhood in east Orlando (primarily ZIP 32807), bounded roughly by SR-408 to the north and Colonial Drive (SR-50) area to the south. Ventura, McCoy Elementary, and Engelwood Elementary feed into this middle school zone. Address-specific confirmation is at ocps.net/find-my-school-home — boundaries shift with district rezoning so verify before you buy.

The IB Middle Years Programme is a district-wide magnet open to any OCPS student. Applications open in October through the OCPS School Choice portal at schoolchoice.ocps.net and close in December, with lottery results in January for the following school year. Students entering 6th grade are the primary cohort; limited seats may be available for 7th and 8th grade. Transportation is not provided. Call 407-249-6430 with current-cycle questions.

Homes in the 32807 zip (Engelwood Park, east Orlando) were listing at a median around $349K in June 2026, with the Engelwood Park sub-neighborhood ranging $290K–$375K. The area is a mix of 1960s–1980s single-family homes, townhomes, and golf-community properties near Ventura Country Club. Days on market run longer here (~82 days) than in many Orange County neighborhoods, which means more negotiating room than you'd have in southwest Orlando.

The school follows standard OCPS security protocols — controlled campus access during school hours, a School Resource Officer, and ID requirements. The Engelwood Park neighborhood is a working-class east Orlando area; it's not the lowest-crime ZIP in the county, but it's a stable residential community. The IB magnet attracts motivated families from across the district, which shapes the campus culture. Standard due diligence on the specific address and block applies when buying in any neighborhood.

The IB MYP is the differentiator. Other OCPS middle school magnets run Cambridge (Liberty Middle, Robinswood) or visual/performing arts tracks; Roberto Clemente is one of the few with a full IB authorization. GreatSchools rates it 4/10 based on test scores — the school serves a 72% Hispanic, largely Title I population, so the rating reflects demographics more than program quality. Families who want IB continuity into Colonial High's IB track will find Roberto Clemente the natural middle-school link.
