Lee County Schools Informed Parents Stronger Schools Brighter Futures

Lee County schools, in the open.

A community improvement initiative run by parents in Lee County, Florida. We collect what families, teachers and students are actually seeing inside the district, check it against the public record, and publish both.

Lee County School Ratings

How each Lee County school is actually doing, rated separately by the staff, students and families inside it. Five-star and one-star ratings are confirmed with a real person before they count, and every score is shown twice: as it is, and with the district’s own 50% grading floor applied.

How Lee County schools are rated here

A world-class education in Lee County, driven by the community that lives here.

Every decision made in the open, with every party’s interests on the table and students at the front of it. No special interests — including ours.

A one-star rating is 20%. A two-star rating is 40%. Both are an F. Apply the 50% minimum the district recommends for students and both become exactly 50% — still an F, and now indistinguishable from each other. That is what a floor does: it does not raise anything, it deletes the bottom of the range so nobody can see how far down it went.

Why a five-star or one-star rating takes longer. The two ends of the scale are the ones worth gaming, in both directions, so they do not move a school’s published score until somebody here has actually spoken to you. Leave us a way to reach you and we will get in touch. Until then your rating is stored, shown as unconfirmed, and counted in the trend — it just cannot swing the number on its own.

This is not a complaint board, and it is not a place to name anyone. Ratings describe conditions, programs, communication and outcomes. They never name an individual, and a rating that names one is set aside rather than edited and published. If what you need to report is something that happened between specific people, that belongs somewhere it can be handled properly, not on a public score.

No ratings are published yet. They appear after they are read, stripped of anything identifying, and confirmed with the person who sent them.
