Summary

Orlando Science Middle High Charter is a high-performing, tuition-free public charter school in Orlando, FL, serving 1,591 students in grades 6 through 12 within the Orange district.

This school is a true standout, consistently ranking among the top 5-8% of all high schools in Florida and earning a perfect 5-star rating from Schooldigger for every year on record. Its academic performance far outpaces nearby schools. For example, 10th graders score 90% proficient in English Language Arts, compared to just 56% at Edgewater High, and 94% are proficient in Biology, versus 80% at William R Boone High. The school also boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate, while nearby schools like Jones High and Maynard Evans High lag behind. This success is not simply a "charter school effect," as other charters in the area, such as Workforce Advantage Academy Charter and Sunshine High School-Greater Orlando Campus, struggle with low graduation rates and high chronic absenteeism.

Despite its elite academics, the school has a notable challenge: a chronic absenteeism rate of 30.2%, which has nearly doubled in recent years. While this is better than the district average of 35.2% and far lower than the 52.3% rate at Edgewater High, it is still high for a school with such strong test scores. This paradox may point to student burnout in a rigorous environment. On the positive side, the school spends $10,577 per student, which is higher than many traditional schools but yields exceptional results, suggesting efficient use of resources. For families seeking a demanding, high-achieving environment in Orlando, this school is a clear top choice.

My son has been attending Orlando Science since his 6th grade year and I as a parent have been very pleased with the academics offered. The clubs can be awesome depending on what the child selects.The clubs are unlike most schools and the opportunities for the kids is endless. The staff personally know the children and parents. The only way a child would not do well in Orlando Science is because the parents or child are not applying themselves or involved. Most teachers are there to make sure your child does well and seem to genuinely enjoy their position as a teacher. Close Quote

Most of the teachers don't have english speaking abilities that's why students have difficulties of understanding. Close Quote
