“Kelly Park School is an OCPS PK-8 public school in Apopka — home of the Panthers — recognized as an Apple Distinguished School and offering the Cambridge International Programme for middle grades.”
Kelly Park School sits on Jason Dwelley Parkway in northwest Apopka, adjacent to the Jason Dwelley Regional Park corridor. Opened in August 2022, it was built to serve the surge of new-construction communities in the Kelly Park Road growth zone — including The Oaks at Kelly Park, Crossroads at Kelly Park, and Winding Meadows. The school runs PK through 8th grade on a single campus, meaning families in the zone don't transition between elementary and middle school buildings. Apple Distinguished School status reflects a commitment to device-integrated, project-based learning — Cambridge International courses add academic rigor in the middle grades.
Academic programs
- Cambridge International Programme — grades 6-8 (Cambridge Global Perspectives and Cambridge-framework courses)
- Apple Distinguished School 2024–2027 (technology integration program, 1:1 device campus)
- Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten (VPK) Plus — open enrollment for qualifying families
- PK-8 continuum — students progress from pre-K through 8th grade without a campus transition
- ESE (Exceptional Student Education) support services
- OCPS standard curriculum: ELA, Math, Science, Social Studies, Arts, Physical Education
How to enroll
Automatic via OCPS based on home address. Students in the Kelly Park School attendance zone are enrolled without an application. Use the OCPS "Find My School" tool at ocps.net or call (407) 410-5900 to confirm your specific address falls within the zone — boundaries have shifted with recent Apopka-area rezoning. VPK Plus has a separate open enrollment process; contact the school directly for current availability.
What makes it stand out
The combination of Apple Distinguished School status and Cambridge International courses makes Kelly Park one of the more academically focused K-8 options in northwest Apopka. The Apple program means every student has a device and instruction is designed around technology-forward project work — unusual for a school barely three years old. The Cambridge Global Perspectives course teaches 6th–8th graders to evaluate evidence and form arguments across disciplines, which is solid preparation for an AP or IB track at Apopka High.

- Student clubs (variety available — check kellyparkk8.ocps.net/clubs-home for current roster)

Frequently asked about Kelly Park School
What neighborhoods are zoned for Kelly Park School?
The zone covers the newer master-planned communities along the Kelly Park Road and Jason Dwelley Parkway corridor in northwest Apopka — including The Oaks at Kelly Park, Crossroads at Kelly Park, Winding Meadows, and Westridge Park. Zone boundaries have shifted with recent OCPS rezoning decisions (May 2026). For an address-specific confirmation before purchasing, use the OCPS Find My School tool at ocps.net or call (407) 410-5900.
How do I enroll my child at Kelly Park School?
If your address falls within the Kelly Park School attendance zone, enrollment is automatic via OCPS — no application required. Visit kellyparkk8.ocps.net or call (407) 410-5900 for the registration checklist (proof of residency, immunization records, prior school records). The VPK Plus program has a separate enrollment process with limited spots; contact the school early in the spring if pre-K access is part of your decision.
What's the median home price zoned for Kelly Park School?
The zone sits in the heart of Apopka's growth corridor. New construction communities like The Oaks at Kelly Park (Toll Brothers) have recent median sales around $650K. D.R. Horton and Dream Finders communities nearby are priced in the $380K–$500K range. The Apopka 32712 zip overall has a median around $443,000–$474,000 as of early 2026. Average days on market runs about 50–60 days. The zone skews toward newer single-family homes — 3-4 bedrooms is the typical footprint.
Is Kelly Park School safe?
Kelly Park follows OCPS standard security protocols: controlled campus access during school hours, a monitored front entrance, and a School Resource Officer on site. The school is brand-new (opened 2022), campus infrastructure is modern, and northwest Apopka's new-construction neighborhoods are low-crime suburban areas. The school's consistent A-grade and Apple Distinguished recognition reflect a well-functioning campus culture, though the GreatSchools 8/10 rating tracks test-score performance rather than safety directly.
How does Kelly Park School compare to Wolf Lake Elementary / Wolf Lake Middle?
Both Kelly Park and the Wolf Lake campus pair are OCPS public options in northwest Apopka. Kelly Park is a single K-8 campus — your child stays on one site from PK through 8th grade, which many families find logistically simpler. Wolf Lake splits into Wolf Lake Elementary and Wolf Lake Middle. Kelly Park has an edge in tech integration (Apple Distinguished) and Cambridge International in middle grades; Wolf Lake has longer track record data. Both feed into Apopka High School for 9th grade. The right choice depends purely on which attendance zone your address falls in — confirm via ocps.net.
