Summary

Tropic Isles Elementary School in North Fort Myers, FL, serves 804 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the Lee school district, where about two-thirds of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The school shows a standout strength in 5th-grade math, with 71% of students proficient—well above the state average and higher than most nearby schools like Hancock Creek Elementary (67%) and Caloosa Elementary (67%). However, this success doesn't carry over to other grades or subjects. Only 52% of 3rd graders and 51% of 4th graders are proficient in math, both below state averages. Science scores have improved dramatically to 55% proficiency, but still trail the state average of 60% and schools like Edison Park Creative And Expressive Arts School (74%) and Hector A. Cafferata Junior Elementary School (63%).

A major challenge is chronic absenteeism, which has remained stubbornly high at around 35% for the past three years—above the state average and a likely contributor to academic struggles. While the school spends $11,810 per student, similar to other area schools, its overall state ranking has declined from the 46th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 32nd percentile. Nearby Diplomat Elementary School and Edison Park, which serve fewer students from low-income households, outperform Tropic Isles in nearly every subject, suggesting that addressing attendance and instructional consistency could be key to improvement.
