This is an excellent school. Everyone enjoys working at this school. The students are very respectful at our school, as well.

My children went there for the 2023/2024 school year. We moved so my children ended up at another Lee county school. The staff there is an amazing. Their office ladies are wonderful. The teachers my children had were also amazing. I heard such horrible things about this school prior to my kids going there. And they were all absolutely false. You get what you put in. Show up for your kids and be their biggest advocate. Their programs with in the school are amazing. My children loved the dance and the dance teacher. They raved about the pe coaches and even the media center specialist.

As my child’s first experience going to school, we are not having a good one. This school acts like it is their first year operating. The rules constantly change and they are very unnecessary changes. One day they will email pickup/drop-off procedures, and the next day they are changing them completely, leaving many confused. I paid $300 for my child to be in a Tennis after-school program only to find out they are combined with another after school program that did not have to pay, they are constantly released late from said program, and they do not ask for any identification when you pick up your child. Not to mention my child has stated multiple times he has no idea what his coaches names are and doesn’t know what they’re learning. Anyone could just grab my son after this program as they release them all to the parking lot and expect the parents to be sitting there waiting. My child values routine and every morning I walk him into school instead of using the drop-off line. We have done this since the beginning of the school year and now, out of nowhere, the rules have changed and we receive an email stating parents are no longer allowed to do that. This is not the first time they have changed policies this year and honestly, it’s a headache. The pleasant thing I can say is that his teacher is wonderful, she responds fast to emails and is always in a positive mood and my son seems to love her. I unfortunately would not recommend this school as it lacks structure and makes me feel uneasy.

Three Oaks Elementary is amazing! My son attended Bonita Springs Charter School for kindergarten and I am so glad I switched schools. Three Oaks Elementary genuinely cares about their students and their families. You are always greeted in a positive manner and all staff is available to help in any way they can. I'm so grateful to the school and my sons teacher for working with me after a rough year at Bonita Charter. Bonita Charter was a nightmare and I didn't know school could be so amazing for me and my son. Also, my sons education is so much better at Three Oaks. He is learning so much more and in a positive environment that fosters great skills.
