GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Fort Myers High School has provided me with so many opportunites that I would not have had access to at other schools. The teachers and admin here are so supportive of every student and they prioritize our success. No matter what you plan to do after high school, there are people and programs here to help you and it is a great community to be in.

I enjoyed my experience at Fort Myers High School, they have great school spirit and you can get pretty involved with their clubs and sports if desired. The one thing I wish they provided is that they would have an ACT/SAT prep course in-school or after school. The teacher are very good if you are in advanced classes, if you are not in advanced classes the teachers don't seem to care too much about your future.

Fort Myers high school is the top school in Lee country school district. It prepares its students for college and the sports there are nice. It's very diverse but still provides equal opportunities for all. The worst part of my experience so far was getting lost during the first week but the best part was the pep rally. The only change I'd like to see is better school food.

Good but it needs to be improved for those who simply don't have the time and are usually working jobs as well and dual enrollment.

FMH is hands down the best High School in the area as far as academics are concerned. Especially for students that are bright and want to get into a good college after high school. If your student enrolls in and successfully finishes the IB program, the sky is the limit. In addition, the school offe...
