Overall, it hasn't been a particularly good nor bad experience. Most of the teachers seem to enjoy what they do and care about the students, however, many of them can be incredibly harsh at times. The administrative staff at the school appears to be trying their hardest to keep the school in good condition, which is nice; not every school can say the same. While there have been a few issues over my past 4 years, the staff members involved with the issues have largely been replaced, which is very reassuring.
However, there are many problems within the culture of the school itself. The stress culture at this school is insane-- students are told by teachers and staff members that they must participate in a minimum of 5 clubs, and have to hold a leadership position in one, in order to become successful. While encouragement is nice, it feels more like a requirement here. Within the IB program, the staff is not lenient at all, which creates unnecessary pressure.

I am a senior at Cape Coral High School and from my time being at the school they have a very good sports program, as long as you are not there for football. The teachers care very much about students making free time to answer questions and help on an assignment a student could be stuck on. The food is nothing to write home about, but it is decent school food. An issue is the bathrooms as they have not been updated or refurbed in quite some time. But with COVID our school is cleaner now with the bathroom is regularly sanitized throughout the school day. The school itself is a bit run down being from the mid-eighties it is only recently being reworked and having new amenities being installed like new water fountains. But our school is special in that we offer programs Such as IB, Dual Enrollment, and AP. This separating or school from many others in the Lee County District. Our school counselor does care about students offering college and life advance in general.
Cape Coral High School, an IB based school, is a wonderful place to go-to for the IB program. However, I gave Cape High a 4 out of 5 stars based on the fact that they are dedicated to helping their students achieve their full potential academic-wise. But, when it comes to the arts and clubs at the school unless they are major clubs such as NJHS or Red Cross they are supper underfunded and the sports seem to get all the money. Such as the music programs of the school, like choir, band, and theatres. I would love to see the music programs get more money funded to their program and open the horizon for more future music students to come. We just recently lost our thespian teacher and our theatre has sense disappeared I would love to see the teachers and students come together to bring back something that can bring others together such as people like me. In the end, I hope that future generations at Cape high will get to experience the wonderful 4 years I was able to experience.
