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.

Start connecting early on with teachers and classmates to make the most of high school. I've had a lot of fun during my 4 years here. The kids that go to this school, for the most part, want to be here- same for the faculty. This isn't a school for those that just want to show up and do the minimal amount of work. Take the hard class and be involved- it pays off in the end.

My experience at North Fort Myers High School has been a roller coaster of emotions. I was able to easily make friends through the numerous social events the school would host. Out of all the schools in my town, I strongly believe that North would best prepare an individual for college.

North Fort Myers High School has a diversity of students.School could be clean one day but another it wont,but some students seem to not pick up after themselves and say rude things to janitors.As for the students would also say racist things to one another ,as a student there i've always been through racism since freshman year.Teachers are amazing you can have such good connections with them,as for your counselors.

North High was an A school up until last year, but that should improve with the new principal. The AICE Program allows the students to easily obtain Bright Futures scholarships, which are applicable to all Florida colleges/universities. North is also an arts school, the Center for the Arts in this z...

NFMHS is the worst school I've attended compared to any school, EVER. This is the only school I've known who blames ME for ME being BULLIED. Students: I should not be treated like a target just because I'm new, or forget to wear red one day. I should not be physically, or emotionally hurt because of...
