Wetherbee Road corridor. Boundaries have shifted as the area has grown; confirm your specific address at ocps.net/find-my-school-home before making an offer.

Students spend half the school day in English instruction and half in Spanish, covering the same Florida state standards in both languages. The goal is full biliteracy by the end of 5th grade. Enrollment in TWDL is open to all students in the zone — both native English and native Spanish speakers — and families opt in at registration. OCPS data shows TWDL participants testing 10-20 percent higher than non-program peers.
