Which Schools Are Baldwin Park Homes Zoned For?
Two of the three zoned schools sit inside 32814 — here are the addresses, the programs, the drive to the third one, and how to verify a zone before you write an offer
Baldwin Park is a master-planned community of more than 3,000 residential units on about 1,100 acres in northeast Orlando, inside ZIP code 32814 and the City of Orlando. Its public schools are part of Orange County Public Schools. Baldwin Park Elementary serves PK through grade 5 at 1750 Common Way Road, Orlando, FL 32814. Glenridge Middle serves grades 6 through 8 at 2900 Upper Park Road, Orlando, FL 32814. Winter Park High serves grades 9 through 12 at 2100 Summerfield Road, Winter Park, FL 32792, with ninth graders at a separate Ninth Grade Center at 528 Huntington Avenue. Winter Park High offers the International Baccalaureate Programme and AP Capstone. Attendance zones are assigned by address and can change, so verify a specific address with the district's Find My School tool.
It is the first question we get on Baldwin Park, usually before anyone asks about the HOA: what schools does this address go to? And the answer has a wrinkle most buyers do not expect from a neighborhood built on a decommissioned naval base — two of the three zoned schools are physically inside the community.
Below are the schools, their actual addresses and grade spans, straight from Orange County Public Schools, plus the honest version of the high school situation and the one tool you should use before you write an offer.
What Is the Zoned Elementary School for Baldwin Park?
Baldwin Park Elementary, at 1750 Common Way Road, Orlando, FL 32814. It serves pre-kindergarten ESE through fifth grade, the principal is Roseanne Galvin-Prepetit, the main number is 407-897-6400, and the school day runs 8:45 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The school lists an Extended Day program, Exceptional Student Education, and Florida's VPK program for eligible four-year-olds.
The practical detail is the address. Common Way Road is an interior Baldwin Park street, so for a large share of the community the elementary school is a walk or a short bike ride rather than a car line on an arterial road — one of the things the New Urbanist street grid here was designed around, with narrow streets, sidewalks on both sides and alley-loaded garages.
What Is the Zoned Middle School?
Glenridge Middle, grades 6 through 8, at 2900 Upper Park Road, Orlando, FL 32814. The principal is Dr. Katie Hyser, the number is 407-623-1415, and the posted school hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Note that ZIP code: Upper Park Road is inside Baldwin Park, which means the zoned middle school is also in the neighborhood. You will see this written up elsewhere as a school "outside the community" — the address on the district's own site says otherwise. If a listing or a guide tells you the middle school is a cross-town commute, check the address yourself.
What Is the Zoned High School?
Winter Park High, grades 9 through 12, at 2100 Summerfield Road, Winter Park, FL 32792, principal Dr. Michael Meechin, main number 407-622-3200. This is the one that is not in Baldwin Park — it is north, in the City of Winter Park, and it is a drive.
Two things about it that catch people off guard:
- Ninth graders are on a different campus. Winter Park High operates a Ninth Grade Center at 528 Huntington Avenue, Winter Park, FL 32789 — the school's original 1923 campus — with its own number, 407-623-1476. So a household with a ninth grader and an eleventh grader has two high school addresses.
- It is a large school. Enrollment was reported at 3,369 for 2022-23. Large comes with a wide course catalog and also with a big campus; whether that is what you want for a particular student is a judgment call, not a rating.
On academics, the school lists the International Baccalaureate Programme and AP Capstone among its offerings, and the IB page describes both the Diploma Programme and the Career-related Programme. The main campus is also under renovation as of this writing, with Saturday SAT and ACT testing being held at the Ninth Grade Center during the work — worth asking about on a tour, because construction phasing affects parking, drop-off and which buildings are in use.
How Do You Verify the Zone for a Specific Address?
Use the district's Find My School tool, which searches by home address, school name or zone. That is the only answer that counts. Assignments are made by the district, not by ZIP code, not by subdivision name, and not by what the previous owner's kids attended.
And zones move. Orange County runs a formal school rezoning process, and with northeast Orlando adding housing, boundaries get revisited. We tell every buyer the same thing: if school assignment is a deciding factor in your purchase, confirm the current zone for that exact address with OCPS directly, in writing if you can, and understand that a zone today is not a guarantee for ninth grade in four years. Nobody can promise you otherwise — including us.
What About Magnet, Charter and School Choice Options?
Zoning is the default, not the only path. Orange County runs district-wide magnet and scholastic academy programs on an application-and-lottery basis, and the calendar for 2027-2028 is already open: the application window opened October 15, 2026 and closes December 18, 2026, with first-lottery results announced January 19, 2027, second-lottery results February 16, 2027, and a waitlist application opening March 10, 2027.
The catch is logistics: the district states plainly that transportation is not provided for students enrolled in magnet schools and programs. A seat across the county is a seat you drive to, twice a day. Factor the commute before you factor the program.
There is also controlled open enrollment and the state's broader choice landscape, including scholarship programs. We cover the mechanics in Florida school choice explained, and the district itself keeps a School Choice page for new families.
The Honest Pros and Cons of Baldwin Park's School Setup
The Upside
- The zoned elementary and the zoned middle school are both at 32814 addresses, inside a community designed to be walked.
- Winter Park High offers IB and AP Capstone, so the course catalog at the high school level is deep.
- Baldwin Park sits in the City of Orlando with the full district magnet and choice menu available by application.
- One elementary serving one community means the school and the neighborhood calendar tend to line up — the community market and the parks are the same five minutes.
The Trade-Offs
- The high school is in another city, and ninth grade is at a second campus on Huntington Avenue — two addresses, two drives.
- Winter Park High's main campus is under renovation right now, which affects day-to-day logistics until the work finishes.
- Zones can be redrawn, and northeast Orlando keeps adding units; today's assignment is not a deed restriction.
- A magnet seat comes with no district transportation.
- Baldwin Park carries a master association plus, in many sections, a sub-association, and newer-community cost questions land on the same bill as everything else — see the honest cost of living in Orlando.
What the Neighbors Know
Ask around Baldwin Park and you will hear the same practical things. The elementary drop-off is a neighborhood event, not a highway merge. The middle school being on Upper Park Road is the quiet logistical win nobody mentions in the listings. And the high school drive north on Summerfield is the part of the routine that people actually plan their mornings around.
They also know the boring truth about all of it: the zone belongs to the address, and the address is checkable in about ninety seconds. Do that first. Then go look at the house.
