Summary

Orlando Science Elementary Charter in Orlando, FL, is a high-performing K-5 charter school serving 721 students in the Orange district, consistently ranking among the top 5% of elementary schools statewide with a 5-star rating for five consecutive years.

This school stands out for its exceptional academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA), where proficiency rates reach 86-88% across grades 3-5—roughly 25-30 percentage points higher than the district average. Its closest academic peer, Princeton Elementary, also earns 5 stars but trails in several key areas, suggesting Orlando Science Elementary has a slight pedagogical edge. The school also demonstrates remarkable efficiency, spending about $9,970 per student—significantly less than nearby lower-performing schools like Rock Lake Elementary ($17,331) and Washington Shores Elementary ($16,882)—while achieving far superior results. Science proficiency is another consistent strength, hovering around 80% for 5th graders over the past four years, well above district averages.

While the school excels academically, its chronic absenteeism rate of 20% is higher than Princeton Elementary's 15.9%, indicating room for improvement. The school shares a campus with its sister school, Orlando Science Charter School K-8, which also performs exceptionally well, creating a unique micro-district of high-achieving charters in an area where many traditional public schools struggle. Notably, Rock Lake Elementary shows pockets of excellence in specific subjects like 5th grade science (88%) despite overall lower rankings, highlighting that performance can vary widely even within the same neighborhood.

I love this school and I am very happy that my child was admitted here! The public school that she was assigned does not have a good ranking, so we decided to look for the best option. Close Quote
