Island Village Elementary School

Island Village Elementary is a School Choice specialty campus, so it draws from across Osceola County — not just a traditional attendance zone. Families living in the Island Village neighborhood and surrounding Celebration area are the default in-zone population, but out-of-zone families can apply district-wide. For address-specific zone confirmation, use the Osceola district's school locator at osceolaschools.net or contact the Planning Services Department at (407) 483-3671.

Visit myosceolachoice.school during the application window — typically mid-November through mid-January. List Island Village as a choice school on your application and select the School of Creativity and Talent Development option. When applications exceed available seats, a lottery determines placement. Out-of-zone families who are not selected in the lottery are placed on a waitlist. Transportation is provided for students who live within the county but outside the standard attendance area, depending on district route availability.

Homes in the Celebration area (ZIP 34747) have been running $450,000–$695,000+ median depending on the part of the community and home type. The Island Village neighborhood itself — a Mattamy Homes development along the north end of Celebration — carries higher price points, with new single-family homes listed from the upper $500s to $1.8M+ for larger waterfront lots. The broader 34747 ZIP median is around $459,000 for all home types. For a zone-filtered current list, ask Ben directly — pricing shifts quickly in this new-construction-heavy corridor.

Island Village operates under standard Osceola County security protocols — controlled campus access, School Resource Officer support through the district, and visitor ID verification. The school sits within the Celebration master-planned community, which has its own community standards and low crime rates relative to the broader county. The school is a Title I campus reflecting the 63% economically disadvantaged student population (which includes many students who apply from lower-income neighborhoods across the county via School Choice). Families should evaluate campus safety at the address level using the Florida school safety dashboard at fldoe.org.

Celebration K-8 (510 Campus St) is a Dual Language magnet serving K-8 — Spanish immersion is its signature program, with a much longer track record and higher GreatSchools profile. Island Village Elementary is newer (2023), runs PK-5 only, and focuses on creativity and talent development via the Renzulli enrichment model rather than language immersion. For families who want arts and enrichment without a language program, Island Village is the more direct fit. For families who want K-8 continuity under one roof or a bilingual track, Celebration K-8 is the obvious comparison. Both are School Choice campuses — you can apply to either regardless of home address.
