5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIf 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 .Parent Review1y ago - The Sanibel School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe 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.Parent Review2y ago - Estero High School

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI 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.Parent Review11y ago - Dunbar High School

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe 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.Other Review2y ago - Bonita Springs High School
