Summary

Corner Lake Middle in Orlando, FL, is a mid-sized public school serving 767 students in grades 6-8 within the Orange County school district, where over half of the students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school presents a striking "two schools" dynamic. On one hand, it offers an exceptional advanced math program: students in Algebra 1 and Geometry End-of-Course exams consistently achieve near-perfect proficiency, with Geometry reaching 100% for two consecutive years. This performance rivals or even exceeds top-tier schools in the Seminole County district, such as Tuskawilla Middle School and Chiles Middle School. On the other hand, the school struggles significantly with grade-level subjects. Only 25% of 7th graders were proficient in math in the most recent year, a full 28 points below the state average. Civics scores also lag behind. This suggests that while the school excels at accelerating its top math students, the general student body faces challenges in core curriculum areas.

The most pressing issue at Corner Lake Middle is its chronic absenteeism rate, which reached 42.2% in the 2023-2024 school year. This is dramatically higher than nearby high-performing schools like Timber Springs Middle (22.5%) and Avalon Middle (19.3%), and it is almost certainly a primary driver of the school's low overall state ranking. Notably, the school spends $11,802 per student—more than the district average and significantly more than high-performing Seminole County schools—indicating that challenges are not due to a lack of funding. A positive trend is in 8th Grade Science, where proficiency has risen to 54%, now slightly above the state average, offering a potential model for improvement in other subjects.

I recently moved to Orlando and two of my children are attending this school. One in regular class/Honors and another one in special Education. I have to say that the staff have been more than helpful and attentive. I don't think the school is the problem but the unruly students that make it difficult for teachers to perform their job at times. Close Quote

This school is the worst school ever. I recommend to not send your child here. The teachers here barley teach the students anything. The tests are on computers and as you can see the testing scores have went down because kids are to busy playing games on the laptops instead of working. The teachers here cuss at students. I am warning all of you do not send your child/children to this school. Close Quote
