Summary

Bonita Springs Charter School is a K-8 public charter school in Bonita Springs, FL, serving 1,287 students within the Lee County school district, which ranks near the bottom of Florida districts.

This school stands out for its exceptional performance in advanced coursework, particularly in middle school. In the most recent year, 96% of students were proficient in Algebra 1, 97% in Geometry, 100% in Biology 1, and 95% in Civics—scores that far exceed both district and state averages and are unmatched by nearby schools, including high-performing ones in Collier County like Pelican Marsh Elementary School and Veterans Memorial Elementary School. However, the school shows a dramatic split in math performance: while 7th-grade math proficiency is strong at 77%, 5th-grade math is a persistent weakness at just 32%, a 45-percentage-point gap that has been consistent for three years. This suggests a specific challenge in the 5th-grade math curriculum or instruction. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 18.9:1 and spends significantly less per student ($8,047) than nearby schools like Spring Creek Elementary School ($12,260) and Pelican Marsh Elementary School ($16,305).

Chronic absenteeism at Bonita Springs Charter is notably lower than the district average—19.3% in 2023-2024 compared to 34.6% for Lee County—indicating strong school culture and community engagement. While the school outperforms its immediate Lee County peers like San Carlos Park Elementary School and Bonita Springs Elementary School in most metrics, it falls short of Collier County schools, which have higher state rankings and lower absenteeism. Overall, Bonita Springs Charter offers a top-tier education within Lee County, especially for families seeking a strong middle school STEM and Civics program, but the 5th-grade math weakness is a key area for parents to investigate.
