OCPS approves targeted rezoning for two West Orange County schools

The Orange County School Board has approved targeted rezonings for Chain of Lakes and Ocoee middle schools for the 2026-2027 school year. 

A targeted rezoning affects a small area and includes a limited number of students. 

The board approved a plan that will rezone 32 students from Chain of Lakes Middle School to Carver Middle School. 

With the rezoning in place, Carver Middle is projected to have 946 students, while Chain of Lakes Middle is projected to have 1,616 students.

The goal is to align the feeder pattern so all students from Eccleston Elementary are zoned to attend Carver Middle. 

As for Ocoee and Robinswood middle schools, the goal of the rezoning is to realign to feeder patterns to create a more consistent education path to students at Citrus Elementary.  

The approved plan impacts 48 students and would allow all Citrus Elementary students to feed into Ocoee Middle and Ocoee High School, rather than having some Citrus Elementary students zoned for Robinswood Middle.
