I used to go here last year it's was terrible some days I will not get food even during lunch and the school is gross and un safe in the school kids will break rules and nobody did noting about it

I went to this school way back in the 80s. I only have such found memorise of my time here. Such a wonderful childhood they gave me.

Run as fast as you can , your children are more important than this school. Horrible staff and teachers.

If your child has disabilities or challenges adjusting to new settings do not enroll your child here. If you have a child on the spectrum with an IEP, do not expect them to follow it or even look at it. What you can expect is a phone call 1.5 days into your child attending kindergarten saying they exhausted all of their resources from the head ESE teacher, who admits she herself, being a resource, has not even met with your child. on that same phone call being told me we need to have an emergency iep meeting, i was expected to set up over the phone on a Friday for the following week without consulting the father of my child to make the meeting date and being told that they do not need to be in attendance or aware, it can be just you since you don’t work. She said “the person needed to sign off on the iep meeting notice is not there to sign and mail out today.” My son came home with new echolalic phrases like “you’re not a good boy” and “you’re so annoying.” the ESE teacher while on the phone with me had pulled up other schools in my area to attend. And when i ask “Are you removing him from your school?!” I was met with “we have exhausted all of our resources here.” the kindergarten teacher told me your child has to be surrounded by four adults at all times, when in reality your child needs calm direction from one person at a time to be able to understand what is expected and process direction. my child needs compassion and understanding of time needed for processing. They do not offer this there. They will ignore antecedents, cause a meltdown and escalate situations because they simply do not want to deal with a challenge or behavior and want your child gone. they will ignore and promote dysregulation of sensory sensitivities to achieve this. They will add trauma to your child and they will be bold enough to do it in front of your face. On the last day I allowed my child to be in that school, I went to pickup & principal stopped me told he was waiting in the office. When I went into the lobby I could hear him screaming crying about sand on a toy duck they gave him. I put it on the counter and asked the AP not to give it him due to sand sensitivities, she stared at me. When we were leaving she told my son after me trying to calm my son “see you tomorrow and you can have the ducks back” causing the meltdown to worsen. They bank on you not knowing your IEP rights and do not want to put in work to help kids with disabilities. Don’t choose this school.

No H.S. in Florida has a 90 graduation rate. Florida allows GED's to count as diploma's to earn more funding. This school is above average but you can see the Math scores are still low. What does that tell you ? Most students from here will not be ready for college math. A 4/10 rating doesn't shout " READY FOR COLLEGE ". I was a military recruiter here and did very well with enlisting young adults. A smart student will thrive in any school. I know this is a decent school but dont lie and put a 90 % graduation rate. The Freshman classes were around 800 when i recruited and senior classes were around 400. What did the 400 other kids do? If you're a parent and really concerned about your kids education look into the IB programs around the area. Fort Myers High is highly respected for that and the private school Canterbury ( Ft Myers ) is off the charts on SAT scores.

Great school. So far and for the past 3 years the level of communication during this time has been exceptional.The teachers I have dealt with have consistently been responsive, going above and beyond to ensure that my children's needs are met. Their commitment to effective communication has truly enhanced the educational experience.The staff members have been incredibly informative and helpful, providing valuable insights and addressing any concerns promptly. The principal's dedication to staying closely connected is great to see.I am also highly appreciative of the school's commitment to ensuring a safe and secure environment the students.It's clear that they prioritize the well-being and development of the students.

This school has much to be desired. My daughter is a Carson Scholar and has never received worse than a B, until this year. She has turned in assignments on time as always, and the 6th grade teacher Sandra Villela does not grade them in a timely manner. A week will pass, my daughter follows up and nothing. The teacher then marks assignments as late or 0, and my child has taken a D in her class which will surely have her removed from the Carson’s Scholar program this year and she is devastated. She works her tail off academically, in the community, in travel sports, and this is what happens. In addition, my son is in 8th grade here and has similar issues where he turned in work and it’s graded after the due date. It’s infuriating as you can see the time stamp of when the work was submitted and when it was graded (much later) and the kids are penalized. We have spoken up to assistant principals and counselors on this matter which has led to teachers scolding our kids after they were spoken to from upper management. Very toxic, we won’t stand for this type of behavior and if the school will not remedy the situation we will continue to make sure the public outside knows.

My daughter and I we choice this school after view all the benefit the provide on the web site and after see the wonder presentation the do on the open house. They promise many activities after school like art and other .We choice this school for be last step to college, my daughter was exited with this school ,in my house me and my wife we have really good fait on this academy and all the promise the offer BUTAfter first three month we star see the reality inside the school the routine my daughter has ever school day.Stress was at first think we noticed and my wife and me we sink the my be is normal but never endsOn second quarter everything change drastically bulling was the big concern and we can see any improved My daughter tell me they do same to other kids on the lunch time and in class (remember this are kids and there learning )She keep tell me the problems there are on the school fight, kids with criminals record ( you fine on the news BUT never on the school) and so on For all this nothing was informed to me or wife and nothing look is done the remedy the problem just keep HIDDen.I don’t Recommended this school at all ..

It might be a good school because some of the teachers might teach you subjects

The teachers we have encountered at this school have been very engaging and have been great with assisting when they have had challenges. They are big on accountability which was a welcoming sight with so many not caring about student homework completion in many schools in the last decade. I did not hear a lot of positivity around this school, but I have seen less drama within the student community and fights in comparison to families I know with students attending other schools within the Cape Coral/North Fort Myers area. I wish there was a stronger support system with sports is the only drawback. I do recommend the school and like the newness of the campus as well.
