Summary

Wedgefield School in Orlando, FL, is a public school serving 959 students in Pre-K through 8th grade within the Orange district, making it notably larger than nearby elementary-only schools which average around 540 students.

Wedgefield stands out for its strong and consistent academic improvement, rising from the 62nd percentile six years ago to the 84th percentile today, earning a 4-star rating for four consecutive years. A key differentiator is its PK-8 grade span, which allows for advanced coursework; in the 2023-2024 school year, 100% of 8th graders taking the Geometry EOC and 91% taking Algebra 1 were proficient—nearly double the district and state averages. The school also excels in middle school grades, with 84% of 6th graders proficient in math compared to 60% district-wide. However, a notable challenge is a sharp drop in 7th-grade math proficiency, with only 16% of students scoring proficient in 2025-2026, a persistent issue that warrants attention. Wedgefield achieves these results while spending $11,042 per student, the lowest among nearby schools like Sunrise Elementary ($15,359) and Castle Creek Elementary ($13,000+), suggesting efficient resource use.

Chronic absenteeism at Wedgefield is 20.9%, significantly lower than the district average of 35.2% and declining from a peak of 31.0% in 2021-2022, indicating strong student engagement. The school’s performance is comparable to top area schools like Avalon Elementary (86th percentile) and Timber Lakes Elementary (84th percentile), but Wedgefield achieves this with a larger, PK-8 student body. It significantly outperforms schools like Castle Creek Elementary (47th percentile) and East Lake Elementary (64th percentile), which have higher poverty rates and spending. The school’s lower free/reduced lunch rate (29.82%) compared to neighbors like Castle Creek (55.5%) is a positive socioeconomic indicator, though not the lowest in the area.

Open Quote This is an excellent school. I have two kids here. One in Kindergarten and one in 3rd grade. This school is an important part of our community. The teachers and principal are very responsive and I really like the low teacher to student ratio. Close Quote
