Anyone MCO based??
 
Just curious where people are living. Possibly moving and looking at Brevard county, specifically. I understand they have pretty good public schools. Any recommendations? Thanks.

I live on Merritt Island. I don't know much about schools (no kids), but housing here is a good deal right now.

Just in case you haven't seen this website, it compares standardized tests at various schools to the state average, with ratings of 1 to 10. Also provides places for comments by parents.

I live in South Orlando. The Hunter's Creek area. It's 30 minutes from my house to the gate. Been here since 2002.

It's pretty convenient to everything.

Schools are as good as you make them. Great neighborhood, with lots of activities.

Both of my kids went to Sunrise Elementary and one now at Discovery Middle, excellent schools and great area, here since '93, 30 mins. to the gate.

Thanks for the schools link. I'm about to get displaced out of my base, so I figure if I'm going to commute, I may as well move back to where I WANT to live. Lived in MCO for 10 years and moved when I got this job. Be glad to go back finally.

You can find information on any public school in Florida here - School Accountability Report ..

For information on FCAT assessment - https://app1.fldoe.org/FCATDemographics/

I work for the Florida Department of Education as a Data Analyst; to determine "high performing" or "good schools" we usually look at School grades, AYP and/or FCAT assessment data. There's plenty of data available on the state's website at FLDOE Home, but you can also find details about schools on district websites.

P.s. MCO is in Orange County, not Brevard ;)

I live in Avalon Park part of MCO. They just built a new road connecting to the 528 and now it's only 20 mins to KMCO. I've been in Avalon for 5 years and love it. VERY family oriented.

Thanks guys for all the info. I really appreciate it. We were specifically looking in Brevard county, not wanting to actually be in Orlando...but thanks again for the links...

Moved to Merritt Island 18 months ago and LOVE it. 45 min to employee parking lot, great neighbors and great schools! Pm me if you want/need more info, or a great realtor(not related:)
