Summary

South Creek Middle in Orlando, FL, is a mid-sized public school serving approximately 1,006 students in grades 6-8, and it has maintained a consistent 3-star rating over the past four years, placing it in the 58th percentile statewide within the Orange County School District.

This school shows a fascinating split in math performance. On one hand, it is a powerhouse for advanced math: 84% of students are proficient in Algebra 1 and 90% in Geometry, far exceeding district and state averages and rivaling top schools like Lake Nona Middle. On the other hand, grade-level math is a major struggle, especially in 7th grade, where only 29% of students are proficient—well below the state average of 53%. This "7th grade slump" has been a persistent issue for years. In contrast, the school shines in English Language Arts (ELA), with proficiency rates of 70% in 6th grade, 64% in 7th, and 67% in 8th, all outperforming district and state averages and far exceeding lower-performing neighbors like Judson B Walker Middle and Westridge Middle.

Despite its academic strengths, South Creek Middle faces a significant challenge with chronic absenteeism, which sits at 34.4%—higher than the state average and nearly identical to the district average. This is a red flag that parents should investigate. Interestingly, the school achieves these results with a lower per-student spending ($9,494) than many nearby schools, such as Meadow Woods Middle ($12,415), which has lower test scores. For parents, this means South Creek offers strong ELA and advanced math programs, but the school needs to address its grade-level math instruction and high absenteeism to fully support all students.
