Schools & Families in Orange Park
Clay County School District earned an "A" grade for 2024-25 and ranks among Florida's best districts overall, though this research pass could confirm the district-wide grade and Orange Park's specific school enrollment figures without finding an individual state letter grade for Orange Park Elementary or Orange Park High specifically -- that narrower gap is disclosed rather than assumed.

Learn moreA Strong District-Wide Grade
Clay County School District earned an "A" grade for the 2024-25 school year, one of only two districts in the North Central Florida region to do so, per regional education reporting on Florida Department of Education data. District-wide, 64% of students tested proficient in math and 62% in reading on the state's 2024-25 FAST and End-of-Course assessments. Niche.com's 2025 rankings placed Clay County District Schools #4 among Florida's best school districts. The district serves roughly 38,600-39,400 students across 54 schools with a student-teacher ratio of about 19-to-1 (sources vary slightly on the exact enrollment count).
Orange Park's Own Schools
Orange Park Elementary School (grades K-6) enrolled 489 students in 2024-25, and Orange Park High School (grades 9-12) enrolled 1,844 students the same year, per NCES and district data. This research pass located district-wide and enrollment figures but not an individual, confirmed state accountability letter grade specific to either Orange Park Elementary or Orange Park High School -- families should verify each school's current individual grade directly via the Florida DOE's edudata report-card portal before enrolling, rather than assuming the district-wide "A" applies uniformly to every school within it.
Key takeaways
- Clay County School District earned an "A" grade for 2024-25 and ranked #4 among Florida's best school districts per Niche's 2025 rankings.
- District-wide proficiency was 64% in math and 62% in reading on 2024-25 state assessments.
- Orange Park Elementary (489 students, K-6) and Orange Park High (1,844 students, 9-12) are the town's namesake schools; this pass could not confirm each school's individual state letter grade, so verify current per-school grades directly with the Florida DOE before relying on the district-wide "A."
