Little River Elementary School

The attendance zone covers east Orlando addresses in and around the 32825 zip code near Caswell Drive, including established subdivisions like East Dale Acres, Peppertree, Bay Run, and Shadow Bay. The zone boundary runs roughly between SR-50 (Colonial Drive) to the north and Curry Ford Road to the south in unincorporated east Orange County. For address-specific zone confirmation, use the OCPS Find My School tool at ocps.net — boundary lines can split streets and subdivisions.

Zoned families register through OCPS new-student enrollment — bring proof of address within the zone, birth certificate, Florida Certificate of Immunization, and prior school records. For VPK (Pre-K 4-year-olds), apply separately through the Florida VPK program at floridastudents.org each spring for the following fall. Call the school at (407) 249-6360 or visit littleriveres.ocps.net to confirm documents and enrollment windows before your visit.

Homes zoned for Little River Elementary typically range from $300K to $420K for a 3-4 bedroom single-family home, with a zone median around $380K as of mid-2026. These are mostly 1960s-1990s ranch-style and split-plan homes on smaller lots — more affordable than newer east Orlando corridors like Lake Nona or 32836. The price point attracts first-time buyers and families who want Orange County schools without premium suburb pricing. For a filtered list inside the actual zone, ask Ben.

The Caswell Drive / east Orlando 32825 corridor is a working-class and middle-class residential neighborhood — established, quiet streets with long-term homeowners mixed with younger families. It lacks the high-end polish of Dr. Phillips or Lake Nona but it is not a high-crime area. The school itself has standard OCPS security protocols. As with any Orange County neighborhood, check the Orange County Sheriff crime map for the specific blocks you're evaluating — statistics vary significantly within the zip code.

Both are OCPS Title I elementary schools in the 32825 east Orlando corridor. Union Park Elementary (GreatSchools 5/10) edges Little River (4/10) on the rating scale and offers a Two-Way Dual Language (English/Spanish) magnet open to students county-wide — a differentiator Little River doesn't have. Little River has a marginally tighter student-teacher ratio (14:1 vs. 14.4:1). For families without a bilingual education priority, the choice often comes down to which address is in which zone. Both feed into Union Park Middle and Colonial High.
