Summary

Three Oaks Middle School in Fort Myers, FL, serves 1,091 students in grades 6-8 and is a high-performing school within the Lee district, consistently earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking in the top 30% of all middle schools in Florida.

Three Oaks stands out as a beacon of academic success in its area, significantly outperforming nearby Lee County schools like Lehigh Acres Middle School, Harns Marsh Middle School, and Fort Myers Middle School, which typically earn only 1 or 2 stars. The school excels in advanced coursework, with 91% of students proficient in Algebra 1 and 97% in Geometry, far exceeding district and state averages. In 8th grade, 71% of students are proficient in Science, compared to the district's 48%. However, a notable weakness is 7th-grade math, where only 34% of students are proficient—below the state average of 53%—a trend that has persisted for three years. Chronic absenteeism at 22.4% is a relative strength, much lower than the Lee district average of 34.6% and dramatically better than peers like Fort Myers Middle (42.6%).

Despite its strong performance, Three Oaks is not competitive with top-tier schools in the neighboring Collier district, such as North Naples Middle School, a 5-star school that outperforms Three Oaks in every subject by 20-30 percentage points. Three Oaks operates efficiently, spending $9,433 per student—the lowest among its comparison group—while achieving the highest results among Lee County peers. For context, Fort Myers Middle spends $12,354 per student but ranks in the bottom 10% of the state. This efficiency, combined with lower chronic absenteeism, likely contributes to the school's success, though the persistent 7th-grade math dip remains a key area for improvement.
