Summary

North Fort Myers High School is a large public high school in North Fort Myers, FL, serving 1,938 students in grades 9-12 and consistently earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past decade, placing it in the 75th percentile statewide. This school stands out as a high-performing institution within the Lee district, which is ranked in the bottom 20th percentile of Florida districts, and it significantly outperforms nearly all nearby schools on key academic metrics.

Academically, North Fort Myers excels in most subjects, with 87% proficiency in Biology 1 and 79% in US History, both well above state averages. Its English Language Arts scores (70-71% proficient) are nearly double those of nearby Island Coast High School (38-43%). The school also boasts an exceptional 98.9% graduation rate, far exceeding the district (89.8%) and state (92.2%) averages, and dramatically higher than schools like Northern Palms Charter High School (26.5%) and Coronado High School (34.7%). However, there is a notable weakness in Algebra 1, where only 24% of students are proficient, a multi-year trend that contrasts sharply with its strong performance in Geometry (59%) and other subjects.

North Fort Myers achieves these results with efficient spending of $9,935 per student, comparable to Fort Myers High School ($9,951) but far less than alternative schools like the Young Parent Education Program ($55,284). Its chronic absenteeism rate of 32.2% is better than the district average (34.6%) and dramatically lower than peers like North Nicholas High School (90.0%). This consistent excellence over a decade makes North Fort Myers a reliable choice for families seeking a high-quality education in the area.
