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.

Best part about the school are definitely the teachers, they are understanding when a student is struggling and finds as many ways as possible to help that student understand current class lessons. The worst part about the school is payment for certain events or activities, it feels like the prices are too much for stuff that can be so little.

Fort Myers High School offers the IB program and AP programs as well. It gives opportunities to learn more and challenge yourself. The sports there are also very good.

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...
