6/10GreatSchools 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

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.

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
