Attendance zone and feeder schools
Zones do not follow city limits. We matched the City of Kissimmee’s residential parcels to the district’s 2026-27 zone map: about 22,100 homes inside the city, 65% of the total, are zoned for Osceola High, mostly in the North John Young Parkway area (about 8,450), the Flora Ridge area (about 3,860), the MLK Boulevard area (about 2,300), the Tapestry area (about 1,840), the Vine Street area (about 1,720) and downtown (about 1,690). Check any address with the district’s BusPlanner search or its 2026-27 attendance zone map book (PDF).
Feeder schools. The district’s 2026-27 feeder patterns list Denn John Middle, Kissimmee Middle and Neptune Middle as feeding Osceola High, from the middle school list (PDF), and the zones of Central Avenue, Flora Ridge, Highlands, Kissimmee, Mill Creek, Partin Settlement, Pleasant Hill and Thacker Avenue, from the elementary school list (PDF). A school appears on more than one list when its zone is split. The district says it “does not have fluid feeder patterns”: the lists follow the School Board’s approved zone lines.
Questions about zone lines go to the district’s Planning Services GIS team, 407-483-3671. A school other than the zoned one needs School Choice approval first; options are on myosceolachoice.school.
