Westpointe Elementary

Westpointe Elementary in Orlando, FL, is a K-5 school in the Orange district serving 683 students, and it stands out as a consistently solid, middle-of-the-pack choice in a neighborhood where nearby schools range from top-performing to struggling. With a stable 3-star rating from Schooldigger over the past several years, Westpointe offers predictable, above-average results—ranking in the 64th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year—making it a reliable option for families seeking a steady education without the intense competition of higher-rated schools like Thornebrooke Elementary or Westbrooke Elementary.

One of Westpointe’s biggest strengths is its science program: 75% of 5th graders were proficient in science in the 2025-2026 school year, significantly outpacing the district (67%) and state (60%) averages. This is a consistent bright spot, as the school has outperformed the state in science for four consecutive years. In contrast, math performance has been more uneven—5th-grade math proficiency was just 46% in 2023-2024, though it has shown recent improvement. The school also operates efficiently, spending only $11,575 per student, which is less than many nearby schools, including higher-performing Palm Lake Elementary and lower-performing Orlo Vista Elementary.

Westpointe sits in a diverse area, and its free/reduced lunch rate of 32% places it in a comfortable middle ground—less affluent than top-tier schools like Windy Ridge K-8 (23.6%) but far more so than struggling neighbors like West Oaks Elementary (75.5%). A notable contrast is with Metrowest Elementary, just 0.07 miles away, which is a 1-star school with chronic absenteeism of 33.5% and very low test scores. While Westpointe’s own chronic absenteeism rate of 30.3% is better than the district average (35.2%), it remains an area for improvement. Overall, Westpointe is a safe harbor for parents wanting a stable, solid education with strong science instruction in a volatile neighborhood.
