Eagle Creek Elementary

Eagle Creek Elementary in Orlando, FL, is a high-performing public school serving 827 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in the Lake Nona area, part of the Orange County School District. This school stands out for its exceptional and balanced academic performance, with math proficiency rates among the highest in the region—especially in 4th grade, where 86% of students met or exceeded standards, surpassing even top-tier peers like Laureate Park Elementary. Across all subjects and grade levels, Eagle Creek consistently achieves proficiency rates above 70%, a sign of a well-rounded program that avoids the ups and downs seen at nearby schools like Sun Blaze Elementary or Stonewyck Elementary.

One of the most impressive recent developments is a dramatic drop in chronic absenteeism, which fell from 20.1% in 2022-2023 to just 13.5% in 2023-2024—a 33% reduction that outpaces the district average of 35.2% and most local schools. Only Laureate Park Elementary (10.4%) and Mater Academy Narcoossee (12.6%) have lower rates, highlighting Eagle Creek’s effective efforts to engage families and build a strong school culture. The school also benefits from a favorable student-teacher ratio of 15.3:1 and per-student spending of $11,731, which is higher than many Orange County peers, signaling a commitment to smaller class sizes and robust resources.

Eagle Creek has maintained a state ranking in the 86th percentile or higher for five consecutive years, demonstrating sustained excellence even as testing standards have evolved. In the competitive Lake Nona area, it forms a strong second tier alongside Northlake Park Community Elementary, while schools like Moss Park Elementary and Village Park Elementary round out a quality-dense landscape. For families, this consistency and balance make Eagle Creek a reliable choice, especially compared to nearby Osceola County schools like East Lake Elementary School or Narcoossee Elementary School, where proficiency rates often lag by 10-20 points.
