I agree. They say they are non-profit but the people who run it are living quite well. They also have stacked the classes so big that they are crowded and don't give much personal attention. My elementary school son is in a class of 29. According to their board minutes, they decided they could ignore the state mandate because they claim they don't get as much money per pupil.

And here I said I wouldn't get into it... sorry!

I worked with a lot of teenagers from Estero High. It seemed like it was a very good school. Where did you hear that?

I've heard from several different people not to send my kids to Estero High so I'm looking more at South Ft Myers High.

Default Yes

Lee county schools are bad achademically. i lived here for 4 years and the middle schools all suck. And now what i kno about the high schools, Cape high has kids about 40% stds, Baker High 50% stds, and theres lots of fights in the cape schools. Fort Myers schools like Dunbar are kinda small and violent but decent education compared to cape coral... as for North Fort Myers its achademics are alright and its not violent..

The Lee County School District is at least satisfactory and there are some schools that are good. The problem is that Desegragation has eliminated the ability to depend on attending a neighborhood school.. kids are bussed a lot. If you are moving to Lee County, go to the school district web site and learn about "Choices"...you need to apply for a certain school ASAP... do not wait until closer to the start of school or you will not have many options for selecting a school.

It seems that given the cost of gas these days that Lee County would rethink the whole 'choice' thing. All that gas busing kids everywhere has got to be a huge waste in financial resources.

Anybody out there that either worked in or graduated from Lee County Schools?

I'd like to hear some first hand accounts about the quality of Lee schools?

Are there Advanced Placement programs?

Are kids ready for college upon graduation?

Do Lee kids get into the better colleges?

Are the schools safe?
