For a zone-filtered live list, ask Ben.
Is the Timber Lakes Elementary area safe?
The Avalon Park community is one of east Orange County's more established master-planned neighborhoods — gated phases, community events, active HOA, and consistent owner-occupancy rates keep crime well below the county average. The school itself operates under standard OCPS security: controlled campus access, visitor check-in, and a campus culture that earns consistently positive community reviews.
How does Timber Lakes compare to Avalon Elementary?
Both are strong OCPS elementary schools serving the Avalon Park area, and both draw from the same east Orlando zip code. Timber Lakes has a slight edge in published GreatSchools scores (10/10 vs. typically 8-9/10 for Avalon Elementary) and holds the OCPS Innovative School designation for its PLTW curriculum. Which school your address feeds into depends on where exactly in Avalon Park you are — some streets split between the two zones. That boundary is worth confirming before you write an offer.
