“Hunter's Creek Elementary is an OCPS PK-5 public school at the heart of Orlando's Hunter's Creek master-planned community — home of the Panthers, a Gifted & Talented program, and one of the district's few Two-Way Dual Language magnets at the elementary level.”
Hunter's Creek Elementary sits at the civic center of Hunter's Creek — one of southwest Orange County's largest master-planned communities, about 20 minutes from both Walt Disney World and Orlando International Airport. The school draws students from the surrounding Hunter's Creek neighborhoods as well as district-wide applicants seeking its Two-Way Dual Language magnet, which integrates native English and native Spanish speakers in the same classroom from Kindergarten. The campus also serves identified Gifted & Talented students, making it a destination school beyond its immediate attendance zone.
Academic programs
- Two-Way Dual Language Magnet — Spanish-English immersion, K-5, district-wide open enrollment
- Gifted & Talented program — referral + assessment-based, available K-5
- Florida BEST Standards — English Language Arts and Mathematics
- FAST (Florida Assessment of Student Thinking) — annual state assessment
- ESE Support Services — exceptional student education resources on campus
- ESOL / Multilingual Learner support
- Physical Education — daily PE included
- Visual and Performing Arts — art and music integrated into curriculum
How to enroll
Zoned students enroll automatically via OCPS based on home address. The Two-Way Dual Language magnet accepts district-wide applicants through the OCPS School Choice portal — students typically enter at Kindergarten (limited consideration for higher grades with language assessment). Bus transportation is not provided for magnet seats outside the home zone. Gifted & Talented placement follows a referral and assessment process available to enrolled students. Verify zone assignment for any specific address using the OCPS "Find My School" tool at ocps.net.
What makes it stand out
The Two-Way Dual Language program is the differentiator. Most OCPS elementary magnets are gifted-only or subject-focused; Hunter's Creek ES runs a full Spanish-English bilingual strand where both language groups learn alongside each other. Students exit 5th grade reading, writing, and doing math in both languages — a credential that follows them through Hunter's Creek Middle's continuation dual-language program.

Frequently asked about Hunter's Creek Elementary School
What neighborhoods are zoned for Hunter's Creek Elementary?
Hunter's Creek Elementary serves portions of the Hunter's Creek master-planned community in southwest Orange County (ZIP 32837) — generally the central core near Town Center Boulevard. Hunter's Creek is large enough that four separate OCPS elementary campuses divide it up: Hunter's Creek ES, West Creek ES, Endeavor ES, and Waterbridge ES. Zone boundaries split by address, so do not assume coverage for a specific home without checking. Use the OCPS "Find My School" tool at ocps.net to confirm zone assignment before committing to a purchase.
How do I apply to the Two-Way Dual Language magnet at Hunter's Creek Elementary?
Applications go through the OCPS School Choice portal (ocps.net/school-choice). The program is open to any Orange County student, and the primary entry point is Kindergarten. Students are admitted to balance native English and native Spanish speakers in each classroom. Bus transportation is not included for magnet students outside the home zone. Check ocps.net for the current application window, typically opening in fall for the following school year.
