Lee County School District Information

School Grades, Zones, Bell Times, Etc.

By Arianna Dabu, Macaroni KID Fort Myers - Fort Myers Beach February 2, 2023

The Lee County School District grades its schools just like a teacher would grade homework, with A, B, C, D, or F. You can find detailed information about how schools are graded, here. 2020 and 2021 were not graded, since this was during COVID and students had the option to do homeschool, virtual learning, in person learning, or hybrid models -- those years threw everybody off! 

Back in 2019, when I was preparing to transition my daughter from VPK to Kindergarten during Student Open Enrollment, I prepared this spreadsheet to help choose the elementary school we believed was best for us. You'll find that the elementary school grades go back to 2011 for this reason, and all others start at 2016. I updated the spreadsheet and added the combination schools, charter schools, middle, and high schools, to help you out! 

The spreadsheet includes each Lee County School District School, their grades over the years, their zones, bell times, whether or not they are a Uniform School, and whether or not they offer before/after school care. You'll want to FILE > MAKE A COPY, and then you'll be able to edit it as you please. Or, you can just print it out!

Subscribers can always find this and other printables via the PRINTABLES link in every week's Note From the Publisher. For those of you that aren't subscribers, you'll just enter your email address and get the link to the spreadsheet immediately!
