Summary

Azalea Park Elementary is a public school in Orlando, FL, serving 470 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in the Orange district, where 70% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school stands out for its steady improvement over the past decade, climbing from the 24th percentile in 2017-2018 to the 49th percentile in 2025-2026, a trend that sets it apart from nearby schools like Chickasaw Elementary and Forsyth Woods Elementary, which have seen significant declines. In a neighborhood where school performance varies wildly—from the high-achieving Audubon Park School (97th percentile) and Baldwin Park Elementary (88th percentile) to struggling schools like Ucp Downtown Charter (0th percentile)—Azalea Park offers a stable, middle-ground option that has been consistently improving.

Academically, the school shows a clear strength in math, with 5th graders outperforming both district and state averages (67% proficient vs. 64% and 62%, respectively), and science scores also exceeding the state average (62% vs. 60%). However, English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency lags behind state averages across all tested grades, suggesting a need for more focus on reading and writing skills. This pattern contrasts with nearby Engelwood Elementary, where both math and science scores are lower (54% and 42%, respectively), and Chickasaw Elementary, which struggles at 44% in both subjects.

The biggest challenge facing Azalea Park is chronic absenteeism, which, while improved from a peak of 48.4% in 2021-2022 to 30.1% in 2023-2024, remains nearly three times higher than at Audubon Park School (10.9%). The school spends significantly more per student ($15,061) than many peers, including high-performing Baldwin Park Elementary ($12,142), yet outcomes remain average, highlighting that financial investment alone isn't enough without addressing attendance. For families in the Azalea Park community, this school represents a reliable, improving choice in a volatile local market, offering a steady upward trajectory that contrasts with the boom-or-bust nature of nearby schools like Passport Charter and Renaissance Charter School At Chickasaw Trail.
