Summary

Ocoee Middle in Ocoee, FL, serves 1,155 students in grades 6-8 within the Orange district, where about half of the students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the school has consistently ranked in the 36th to 49th percentile among Florida middle schools over the past decade.

Ocoee Middle presents a unique "two-tiered" academic profile. On one hand, its advanced math program is exceptional: 97% of students taking the Geometry end-of-course exam were proficient, far exceeding district and state averages, and Algebra 1 scores have been consistently high. On the other hand, the majority of students struggle with standard grade-level subjects, with 6th-grade math proficiency at just 42% and 7th-grade English Language Arts at 54%, both below state averages. This contrast is stark when compared to nearby high-performing schools like Bridgewater Middle and Sunridge Middle, which rank in the top 20% of the state and have proficiency rates 20-30 percentage points higher across nearly every subject. Ocoee's performance is more comparable to peer schools like Lakeview Middle and Piedmont Lakes Middle, though it lags behind Gotha Middle.

A critical challenge for Ocoee Middle is chronic absenteeism, with 33.5% of students chronically absent in 2023-2024—higher than the state average and significantly above rates at top-performing nearby schools. The school also spends less per student ($9,907) than any other nearby school, which may contribute to its struggles. However, there is a bright spot: 8th-grade math proficiency has improved dramatically, reaching 68% in 2025-2026, exceeding both district and state averages. To improve overall, the school will need to replicate the success of its advanced math program for all students while addressing attendance issues.

I hate this school. I have drove up early to drop my child off for tutoring, and a child randomly screamed EXTREMELY bad curse words. The teachers don't care about the students being innapropriate or cursing, and overall i DO NOT recommend it. Close Quote
