ORLANDO — A block from Winter Park’s tony Park Avenue sits St. Margaret Mary Catholic School, where tuition can top $14,000 a year for a K-8 education. But at this school in the heart of one of Central Florida’s wealthiest communities, about 98% of students used taxpayer-funded scholarships worth roughly $8,000 to help pay tuition last year. Only 3% of St. Margaret Mary’s students got that state financial aid just one year earlier.
