Fort Myers Beach Elementary School

Public Grades PK, KG-5

Summary

Fort Myers Beach Elementary School is a small public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the coastal town of Fort Myers Beach, Florida, with just 80 students enrolled. Despite its small size, the school has consistently earned high ratings, ranking among the top elementary schools in the state.

One of the school's key strengths is its exceptional academic performance. Fort Myers Beach Elementary consistently outperforms the Lee County district and the state of Florida in assessments, with significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. For example, 91% of 4th graders were proficient in ELA, compared to just 42% in the district and 53% statewide. However, the school's student population is predominantly White, in contrast to the more racially diverse nearby schools like Tanglewood Elementary and Six Mile Charter Academy.

Another area of concern is the school's higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 9.8% to 23.1% over the past few years, which is above the state average. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in spending per student, from $17,444 in 2019-2020 to $62,390 in 2022-2023, substantially higher than the spending levels at nearby schools. While the school's academic excellence is commendable, these factors warrant further investigation to ensure the school is providing a well-rounded and inclusive educational experience for all its students.
