“Timber Creek High School is an OCPS public high school serving East Orlando and Avalon Park, known for its strong AP program, award-winning marching band, and AFJROTC — all in one of Central Florida's fastest-growing residential corridors.”
Timber Creek opened in 2001 as a relief school for University High School and quickly became the anchor institution for east Orlando's fast-growing residential belt. The campus sits at the edge of Avalon Park, a master-planned New Urbanist community, and draws students from Waterford Lakes, Stone Lakes, and the Stoneybrook East corridor. Its AP Choice program moves freshmen and sophomores through college-prep coursework at an accelerated pace, and the Air Force JROTC unit is one of the district's most active.
Academic programs
- Advanced Placement (AP) — 76% senior participation rate
- AP Choice (APC) — accelerated AP track for 9th and 10th graders
- Dual enrollment with Valencia College and UCF
- Air Force JROTC (FL-20041) — aerospace science, leadership
- VEX Robotics — national competition team
- Orange Technical College (OTC) career-track programs
How to enroll
Zoned students enroll automatically via OCPS boundary assignment. No magnet or audition process — enrollment is determined by home address. Confirm your specific address at ocps.net before making an offer; the east Orlando zone boundary is not trivial and adjacent streets can fall under East River High School instead.
What makes it stand out
The AP Choice program is the academic differentiator: it groups freshmen and sophomores into accelerated cohorts for a compressed AP track, rather than waiting until junior year to access college-level work. The 2021 FMBC State Championship marching band and the active AFJROTC unit round out a broader activity menu than most east-side OCPS campuses.

Frequently asked about Timber Creek High School
What neighborhoods are zoned for Timber Creek High School?
The attendance zone covers a broad swath of east Orlando: Avalon Park (all villages), Waterford Lakes, Stone Lakes, Stoneybrook East, and parts of the Alafaya corridor. East River High School covers portions of the same general area, so address-specific confirmation matters — check the OCPS boundary finder at ocps.net or ask Ben to verify a specific address before you make an offer.
How do I enroll at Timber Creek?
Timber Creek is a zoned school with no magnet or lottery process. If your home address falls in the Timber Creek attendance zone, your student enrolls automatically through OCPS. The district runs an open-enrollment / school-choice window each spring for families who want to request a school outside their zone, subject to capacity. Visit ocps.net for the current enrollment calendar.
What is the median home price zoned for Timber Creek?
Homes in the Timber Creek zone range from roughly $380,000 for townhomes and smaller single-family in Stoneybrook East to $550,000–$650,000 for larger Avalon Park and Waterford Lakes homes. Median across the zone is in the $440,000–$460,000 range as of early 2025, depending on the sub-community. Pull a zone-filtered search or ask Ben for current inventory inside the boundary.
Is Timber Creek High School safe?
Timber Creek has standard OCPS security: School Resource Officer, controlled campus access during school hours, and ID-badge protocols. The surrounding Avalon Park and Waterford Lakes neighborhoods are among the lower-crime residential communities in east Orange County — master-planned design, active HOAs, and heavy owner-occupancy tend to keep incident rates low. The school itself doesn't have an unusual discipline profile for its size.
How does Timber Creek compare to East River High School?
Timber Creek and East River are the two dominant OCPS high schools in east Orlando and the natural comparison. East River (opened 2008) generally earns a slightly higher GreatSchools score and draws from the newer Stoneybrook and Alafaya corridor communities to the north. Timber Creek is larger (3,500+ students), has more AP sections, and has a more established athletic and marching band tradition. For buyers, the choice is often determined by the address — not preference — since the zone split runs through the same neighborhoods.
