School District of Lee County

The School District of Lee County is the ninth largest district in Florida and the 33rd largest school district in the United States. We proudly educate approximately 90,000 students in grades PK-12.

The District is a model for others in the State and across the nation - from being home to the world's first Microsoft Certified High School (Dunbar High School), a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence (The Sanibel School) and one of the top International Baccalaureate (I.B.) high schools in the world (Fort Myers High School), we are preparing our students to compete in a high-skilled, global economy.

Schools in Lee County play a key role in community life. With approximately 10,000 full- and part-time employees, the District is one of the county's largest employers, and with the District's construction program, building new schools and renovating and expanding existing facilities, the District has been the area's largest developer.
