Summary

Lemuel Teal Middle School in Lehigh Acres, FL, serves 1,008 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the Lee district, which ranks in the 20th percentile statewide. The school itself ranks in the 1st percentile among Florida middle schools, with over 61% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch and a chronic absenteeism rate of 35.4%—higher than the state average of 31.4%.

Academically, the school shows a striking contrast. While overall performance is low, an impressive 88% of students were proficient in Algebra 1 in the 2025-2026 school year, far exceeding the district (56%) and state (63%) averages. This is a bright spot that rivals nearby high-performing schools like Three Oaks Middle School (91%) and Cypress Lake Middle School (96%). However, 7th grade math proficiency is just 21%, which is 32 points below the state average and the lowest among all Lee County peers. This "Algebra 1 paradox" suggests the school excels at accelerating a small group of advanced students while the majority struggle with foundational math skills.

There are signs of improvement from a low base. Between the 2023-2024 and 2025-2026 school years, 8th grade science proficiency jumped from 14% to 39%, 8th grade ELA rose from 18% to 42%, and civics improved from 36% to 60%. Despite these gains, the school still lags behind its closest neighbor, Lehigh Acres Middle School (just 1.15 miles away), which serves a similar demographic but ranks in the 24th percentile. Per-student spending at $10,867 is in the middle of the pack, indicating that challenges are more tied to school-level factors like leadership and culture than funding. For parents, this school offers a strong advanced math program but requires targeted support for most students, especially in 7th grade math.
