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

This is the worst school I've ever been to in my life. My brother got milk spilled over him by a bully in front of all the teachers during lunch. They didn't do anything about it and sent him to the bathroom to change. In the bathroom, three dimwitted kids tried to record him, and when he pulled their phone away, they pushed him against the wall and hit his eye. Now, what did the faculty do? (Oh, by the way, there was a lot of evidence they had against these lowlifes.) These "caring, and supportive teachers" called the three kids to their office and gave them what? a kind warning and suspension for a week. that's it. Even though they could make my brother blind, and they've done this before to other kids, all they got was a short 1-week break from school. In class, kids openly cheated on tests, flipped over tables, and threw stuff at teachers and students, and the teachers did absolutely nothing about this. Meanwhile, if a kid wanted to stand up for themselves, what did they get? Detention. I fully advise anyone looking to go to this school to not. Enroll your kids into homeschooling or a private school. I've been homeschooled for two years now and I've skipped already 3 grades, and doing college classes. In full honesty, your kids will do a better job at learning by themselves than with this horrid education system.

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 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.

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.

Great school with great teachers and administrators.

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.

great school! highly recommend it!! they care about your child

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.
