Edgewater High School is an OCPS public high school in the College Park neighborhood of Orlando, serving 2,000+ students with two application-based magnet programs — one for future educators, one for engineering and technology — alongside strong AP and dual-enrollment options.

Edgewater High opened in 1952 on Edgewater Drive in College Park, one of Orlando's oldest and most walkable in-town neighborhoods. The school sits less than two miles from downtown Orlando and draws from a dense, established residential corridor of bungalows and lakefront homes. Its two magnets — CFE and EST — pull district-wide applicants, which means the student body mixes zoned College Park families with enrolled magnet students from across Orange County.

Academic programs

  • Advanced Placement (AP) — 52% student participation rate
  • Center for Future Educators (CFE) Magnet — dual enrollment with UCF and Valencia
  • Engineering, Science and Technology (EST) Magnet — Project Lead The Way curriculum
  • Gifted Academy
  • Dual enrollment — Orange Technical College (OTC)
  • Honors coursework across core subjects

How to enroll

Zoned students enroll automatically through OCPS based on their home address. The CFE and EST magnets are application-based: minimum 2.5 GPA recommended; applications open through OCPS School Choice each fall for the following school year. Note that magnet transportation is not provided — families must arrange their own transport. Verify current application windows at ocps.net.

What makes it stand out

The Center for Future Educators magnet is one of the few programs in Florida that lets high schoolers work actual OCPS classrooms as practicum interns, with dual-enrollment credits through UCF and Valencia built in. For students who already know they want to teach, it compresses the path to a teaching certification meaningfully.

Extracurriculars

  • Full athletic program — 30+ varsity sports including football, basketball, soccer, lacrosse, rowing, water polo
  • Girls' basketball (4 state championships: 2007, 2012, 2013, 2014)
  • Band, chorus, theater
  • Robotics and engineering clubs (via EST magnet)
  • Future educators internship placements (via CFE magnet)
  • JROTC, Key Club, National Honor Society

Frequently asked about Edgewater High School

What neighborhoods are zoned for Edgewater High School?

The Edgewater High attendance zone covers the College Park neighborhood and adjacent areas of north-central Orlando — generally bounded by the Lake Ivanhoe corridor to the east, the Lake Fairview / Lake Silver area to the north and west, and I-4 to the south. Killarney, Lake Silver, Princeton, and Rosemont are among the elementary schools that feed through College Park Middle and into Edgewater. For a specific address, use OCPS's Find My School tool at ocps.net — zoning is address-specific and can shift with annual rezoning.

How do I apply to the CFE or EST magnet at Edgewater High?

Both the Center for Future Educators and the Engineering, Science and Technology magnets accept applications through the OCPS School Choice portal each fall. A 2.5 GPA is recommended for CFE; EST applicants should have a strong math and science record. Neither program provides district bus transport — plan for your own commute. Magnet acceptance overrides zoning, so out-of-zone families can apply. Check ocps.net for current deadlines; the window typically opens October–January for the following school year.

What's the median home price zoned for Edgewater High?

College Park is one of Orlando's most in-demand in-town neighborhoods. Median closed prices in 2025 were in the K–K range, with homes on larger lots or with lake access pushing well above K. The area trades fast — average days on market ran about 60 days in late 2025. Inventory is limited because College Park's street grid was mostly built out by the 1960s; turnover, not new construction, drives the market here.

Is Edgewater High safe?

The campus has OCPS's standard security posture — School Resource Officer, controlled entry, ID badging. College Park as a neighborhood sits inside the city of Orlando limits and has the variability that comes with urban proximity; it's one of the city's more desirable in-town areas. GreatSchools flagged below-average attendance (48% of students present nearly every day vs. a 69% state average), which is worth asking the school about if it's a factor for your family.

How does Edgewater High compare to Jones High School?

Both are OCPS high schools in central Orlando, but they serve different geographic and demographic zones. Edgewater draws from College Park and the Ivanhoe corridor — a walkable, established in-town neighborhood with strong housing demand. Jones High serves a different zone to the south and west. Edgewater holds a higher GreatSchools rating (6/10 vs. 4/10 for Jones) and carries two magnet programs. For buyers the relevant question is always which specific address falls in which zone — the OCPS Find My School tool is the definitive answer.
