Summary

Blankner K-8 is a high-performing public school in Orlando, Florida, serving 802 students from prekindergarten through 8th grade. Part of the Orange County Public Schools district, Blankner K-8 has consistently ranked in the top 15% of Florida elementary schools, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Blankner K-8 students significantly outperform their peers in the district and state on standardized tests, including FAST (English Language Arts and Math), Statewide Science, and End-of-Course (EOC) exams. For instance, in the 2024-2025 school year, 98% of Blankner K-8 students were proficient or better in EOC Algebra 1, compared to just 63% in Orange County and 60% statewide. The school also excels in FAST Math, with 82-86% of students in grades 3-6 achieving proficiency, compared to 58-64% in the district and 57-63% across Florida.

While Blankner K-8 has higher academic performance and lower free and reduced lunch rates than nearby schools like Dover Shores Elementary, Catalina Elementary, and Lake Eola Charter, it also experiences relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.6% to 35.8% over the past few years. Addressing this issue could further improve the school's already impressive academic outcomes.

I have attended Blankner scence kindergarden and im now in 8th grade but the school population is small of only 1000 [keep in mind it's a pre-k through 8]evryone knows eachother and we have a zero tollerence of bullying. we are also rated the 3rd best school in orange county and have many high test scores. but the one thing i dont like is that many students are middle class or upper middle class so a person of a lower class that doesnt own the "new IPAD 2" may feel leftout... but i love this school and am sad to leave but also excited to be moving into a bigger population school [Boone] Close Quote

Blankner is a relatively small school with very strong parent and community ties. There is a very strong focus on academics. Discipline is also strong. The school provides a safe and nurturing environment for students. The weakest part would be the middle school, because it is so small, it cannot offer many of the extras available at the large, regular middle schools. But it is still academically superior.
