[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents have lived in Winter Springs for almost 40 years now (they moved when I graduated high school, so I have only lived shorter periods with them).  But my mother has been a realtor in the Orlando area for nearly 40 years.

Seminole County schools are good because it is like Howard County in MD.  It is less dense and more spread out and there is a higher average wealth in each school.  Each school is good to very good, but there are limited exceptional schools (for public).  Additionally, not as many students (about 66K)  Orange County is more like Montgomery County.  It has some very wealthy enclaves and it also has some much poorer areas.  So you'll have a handful of exceptional schools (again, on the public scale), but you'll also have some mediocre and some poor schools.

As one PP mentioned, Winter Park is like the W schools in MCPS.[/quote]

Is the DC area spoiled with good schools? Maybe thats the problem.[/quote]

And more segregated[/quote]
 
It’s full of high income people whose kids do well in school, which is why the schools are better. [/quote]

Looking at the farms rate in windemere and winter park high school they are in the 35%[/quote]

Yes, I meant the dc area is much wealthier on the whole, which is why suburban dc schools are better. Winter Park is widely considered to be the best part of the Orlando area. Public schools there are considered to be good. I think motivated, smart kids would do well in any winter park public school. But I am not googling farms rates. Most good students are aiming for in state at UF or maybe Emory. It’s different than nova. [/quote]

How can there be 35% farms and winter park bean exclusive area?[/quote]

Apartments, rentals, less expensive neighborhoods in the school zone. Florida is less economically segregated than this area. People who want that experience for their kids there send them to private schools. [/quote]

Most places in the US are less segregated by income than the DC area. Especially in "affordable" places. [/quote]
