If your child is not part of the I.B program forget about it . That’s all they care about . They have duel enrollment which allows students to graduate with h.s diploma and get AA degree but the school could care less about those students. 2025 graduation ceremony didn’t have one thing listed about duel enrollment .

The Sanibel School is truly a gem where students thrive academically, creatively, and personally. The school fosters an environment of excellence, supported by a dedicated team of educators who go above and beyond to ensure every child succeeds. From the innovative STEAM programs to their exceptional environmental education initiatives, students are engaged in hands-on, meaningful learning experiences that prepare them for the future. What sets Sanibel School apart is the incredible community and parent support. Families are deeply involved, collaborating with teachers to enhance the learning environment. Local organizations, like Ding Darling, SCCF, Sanibel Sea School, and CROW partner with the school, enriching students' experiences and providing unique opportunities beyond the classroom. The connection between the school and the Sanibel community creates a nurturing and dynamic atmosphere where students are empowered to grow into confident, curious, and responsible individuals.Sanibel School is more than just a place of learning; it’s a community hub that values education, creativity, and environmental stewardship. The school’s commitment to student success and the overwhelming support from parents and the local community make it an exemplary educational institution.

The staff exploits the total lack of accountability. Administration targets students and families as retaliation for complaints. Under leadership of the previous principal the school received a grade A for 5 out of 7 years. With the current principal at the reigns, the school has never received an A, yet they are the 2nd highest paid principal in the district. This principal takes liberties that are not within her authority, yet the district provides no accountability. While the administration is terrible at this school, it is a product of the school board and district's example of zero accountability. Consequences for noncompliance with policies only exist for students and parents.

Great school with great teachers and administrators.

I think it is a very good school, they keep the student busy in all areas. Teacher have very good values, and they are very good example to the student. I had kids there, my older one just graduated and the other one is in 10 Grade.

The principal plays favorites with his employees. For instance, one, long time, hard working employee can be entirely overlooked and placed in new position to be replaced by a less educated and older choice from the principal. When the principal and/or school board members fail their best and brightest younger teachers, it's the students who will untimely fail.
