School Overview

The OCPS Academic Center for Excellence (ACE), located in the Parramore neighborhood of Orlando, is a unique K-8 community school operated by Orange County Public Schools. Opened in 2017, the campus was designed as an "educational village" to serve as a hub for the local community. Beyond traditional academics, the school integrates a wide range of support services—including health clinics, after-school programs, and family resources—aimed at addressing the socioeconomic challenges in the surrounding area and providing a holistic approach to student development.

The school is notable for its partnership with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida and its focus on fostering a supportive environment that extends from early childhood education through middle school. By combining rigorous instruction with comprehensive wrap-around services, the OCPS Academic Center for Excellence strives to narrow the achievement gap and provide students with the stability and resources necessary for long-term academic and personal success.
