West Orange High School is the western most school in Orange County Public School (OCPS) district, located 15 miles from downtown Orlando and eight miles north of Walt Disney World. West Orange was completed in 1975 at a cost of 6.5 million dollars; West Orange High was formed by a consilidation of two over-crowded high schools within western Orange County: Lakeview High and Ocoee High. the first classes were held at Lakeview High School in September 1975. Upon completion of the new facility, classes began onsite in January of 1976. In 2005 West Orange was identified as a school in need of rebuilding due to poor constuction quality and an outdated design. Historically West Orange High School has been on of the larger schools in OCPS (number two in 2012) and at its peak capacity in 2001 had an enrollment of 4,560 students. Currently West Orange has an enrollment of about 3,428 students and has been growing by approximately 150 students a year since 2007.
