7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI went here and LOVED it. I was in the gifted program and the gifted teachers there are unmatched. There are ten classes per grade level, so all kids are rightly placed. All the teachers teach well, though I wouldn't recommend teaching there (it is very cliquey among the teachers). The other thing I didn't like about this school was the lack of diversity. Everyone there was blonde haired-blue eyed christians, which I found kind of annoying. However, the IB program is very cool and the opportunities here are mediocre, but its a great school.Other Review1y ago - Cypress Lake High School

4/10GreatSchools 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 Review7mo 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.

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 Review8mo ago

"This is a very quiet and friendly neighborhood. It’s so close to the beach you can hear the waves. The deeded beach access allows you to leave your beach chairs on the private path, ready! so your day at the beach is a breeze. There are rarely more than 5 other people on the beach. It’s like owning on the gulf at a fraction of the cost. "
