Ocoee Middle School

The attendance zone covers central and west Ocoee — including Ocoee Landings, Prairie Lake, and the neighborhoods along the Bluford Avenue corridor. The zone was adjusted slightly in December 2025 when OCPS approved a 48-student rezoning that adds a portion of Citrus Elementary's feed to Ocoee Middle, effective 2026-27. For address-specific confirmation, use the OCPS Find My School tool at ocps.net before making an offer.

Ocoee Middle is a zoned neighborhood school — enrollment is automatic via OCPS if your address falls within the boundary. Bring proof of address, immunization records, and prior school records to the registrar at 300 S Bluford Avenue. Call (407) 877-5035 or email ocoee_ms@ocps.net with enrollment questions. No application or lottery is required.

Homes in ZIP code 34761 — the primary code for the Ocoee Middle zone — were selling at a median of $445,000 in early 2026, averaging about 42 days on market. Most of the inventory near the school is 3-4 bedroom single-family homes. Prices have softened modestly from 2023 peaks but remain above the broader Orlando MSA median.

Ocoee Middle operates with standard OCPS security: a School Resource Officer, controlled campus access during the school day, and visitor ID check-in. The school's mission centers on academic excellence and positive school culture — Principal Cheri Leavitt emphasizes life skills alongside academics. The surrounding Bluford Avenue corridor is an established residential area, not a high-traffic commercial zone.

Among OCPS west-Orange middle schools, Gotha Middle generally posts higher GreatSchools scores and draws from a higher-income zone. Robinswood Middle is closer to the i-429 corridor and has a somewhat different demographic profile. Ocoee Middle's standout is Algebra 1: its 76% proficiency rate beats both county and state averages and compares favorably to similarly-zoned schools. If Algebra 1 and PLTW STEM access matter to a family, Ocoee Middle overperforms its headline rating.
