#6 Best Public Middle Schools in Orlando Area
Parent: We live in Windermere opted for Howard instead of our zoned school. Because it is a magnet school for visual and performing arts, the number of creative electives a student can choose from, such as Law, Dance, Photography or Guitar, is much better than standard OCPS. The STEM teacher is a 2018 OCPS "Teacher of the Year" recipient. The culture at the school is vibrant, because the students and teachers choose to be there, and that is quite different from a school where you have to be there. The school was built in 1926. We like the traditional building - like a "Rydell High" - and love the fact that the school has a dedicated auditorium (separate from the cafeteria) for the fantastic theatrical productions. Last year, the theater department put on "James and the Giant Peach," it blew us away how good it was. For the 2018 school year, Howard is 100% magnet. The club options include a Magic Club, Thespian Club, Art History Club and more. Great field trip opportunities.... Read 4 reviews
