“Apopka High School is an OCPS public high school in northwest Orange County anchoring the rapidly growing Apopka corridor, with two district-open magnet programs in engineering and medical careers.”
Apopka High sits on Martin Street in central Apopka, about 25 minutes northwest of downtown Orlando. The campus has been at its current location since 1976, with a full rebuild in 2009. Northwest Orange County has seen significant new-construction growth — communities like Bronson's Ridge, San Sebastian Reserve, and The Oaks at Kelly Park all feed into this zone, making it an active target for families relocating to the Apopka–Kelly Park corridor.

- Advanced Engineering Applications (AEA) Magnet — covers traditional and emerging engineering fields; AP Chemistry, Physics, Calculus; Embry Riddle dual enrollment for seniors; industry certifications
- Medical Careers Magnet — college-prep curriculum with full-semester clinical rotations (dentistry, nursing, surgery); dual enrollment and AP options; industry certifications
- Advanced Placement (AP) courses
- Dual enrollment with Valencia College and Embry Riddle Aeronautical University

How to enroll
Zoned students enroll automatically based on their Orange County address. Both magnet programs — Advanced Engineering Applications and Medical Careers — are open district-wide; any OCPS student may apply regardless of home zone. Applications go through the OCPS School Choice portal; check ocps.net for current application windows. Magnet acceptance overrides standard zoning for transportation purposes.
What makes it stand out
The two magnet programs set Apopka High apart from most northwest Orange County high schools. Medical Careers students complete full-semester clinical placements in real healthcare settings — not simulations — before graduation. The Engineering magnet includes dual-enrollment coursework with Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, a rare offering at the public high school level in Central Florida.

Frequently asked about Apopka High School
What neighborhoods are zoned for Apopka High School?
The attendance zone covers most of the Apopka area in northwest Orange County — including newer communities like Bronson's Ridge, San Sebastian Reserve, Crossroads at Kelly Park, and The Oaks at Kelly Park, as well as established Apopka neighborhoods closer to the downtown core. For an address-specific zone check, use the OCPS School Finder at ocps.net — boundaries have shifted recently due to growth-related rezoning.
How do I apply to the Engineering or Medical Careers magnet?
Both magnets are open to any OCPS student district-wide. Applications open through the OCPS School Choice portal, typically in fall for the following school year. There is no audition or portfolio requirement; the admissions process considers academic readiness. Magnet acceptance provides district transportation regardless of where you live in Orange County. Check ocps.net for the current application window and any updated eligibility criteria.
What's the median home price near Apopka High School?
Homes in the 32712 zip code — which covers much of the Apopka High zone — had a median sale price around $443K in early 2026, up about 3% year over year. New construction in the Kelly Park growth corridor (Bronson's Ridge, San Sebastian Reserve) runs $350K–$550K. The older Apopka residential core tends to come in lower; lakefront and larger-lot properties push higher. Days on market average around 69 in this zip.
Is Apopka High School safe?
Apopka High follows the standard OCPS security posture: School Resource Officer, controlled campus access during the school day, student ID requirements. The GreatSchools profile notes a 55% daily attendance rate — below the 69% state average — which is worth understanding when evaluating the school's climate. The surrounding Apopka community is a mix of established residential and newer master-planned growth; crime rates in the newer Kelly Park corridor are consistent with other new-construction suburbs.
How does Apopka High compare to Wekiva High School?
Both are OCPS high schools in the northwest Orange County area. Apopka High holds two unique district-open magnet programs (Engineering and Medical Careers), which Wekiva does not. Wekiva tends to score comparably on GreatSchools metrics. For buyers, the zone your specific address lands in determines which school your child attends — there's no universal better choice. Families drawn to the magnets can apply to Apopka High from anywhere in the district regardless of zone.
