Summary

Estero High School is a public magnet high school located in Estero, Florida, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,523 students. The school is part of the Lee District, which is ranked 59 out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Estero High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from a high of 181 out of 734 Florida high schools in 2018-2019 to its current rank of 437 out of 844 in 2024-2025.

Estero High School's test scores are generally below the Lee District and Florida state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Estero High School had only 22% of students proficient or better in Algebra 1, compared to 49% in the Lee District and 60% statewide. However, the school performs better in Geometry, with 57% of students proficient or better, compared to 44% in the Lee District and 55% statewide. Estero High School has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 85.1% to 95.0% over the past few years, which is generally on par with or slightly above the Lee District and state averages.

When compared to nearby schools, Estero High School generally performs better than some of the lower-performing schools, such as City of Palms Charter High School, Lee County Acceleration Academies, and Island Park High School, in terms of test scores and graduation rates. However, it lags behind higher-performing schools like Florida Southwestern Collegiate High School and Gulf Coast High School (in the Collier District). The relatively lower spending per student at Estero High School compared to some of the nearby schools may be a factor in the school's performance, and addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate could be a priority for the school and district.
