Glad to have spent my four years of high school at FMHS. Seriously is an amazing school. Love the school spirit here, you definitely see that shown during sporting events. The staff is great here. Wonderful teachers, with much experience. My teachers have been caring, kind, and helpful. This is a great school for any student who desires good education, good experience, and will look back at these four years and can truly say they had a good time!
Review Fort Myers High School
I started out at this school going into the IB program, well, the Pre-IB program. Unfortunately my hopes for a good education sunk when I realized FMHS is more concerned about giving out work than they are about their students actually learning the content. So junior year I left the Pre-IB program, and joined the Dual Enrollment and AP programs. Dual Enrollment was fantastic. I got to take college classes at a real college, to get experience of what a college is like. All in all I would recommend the Dual Enrollment and AP Programs over IB. The teachers in the traditional program, (as in without AP, Dual Enrollment or IB), are honestly quite horrible. They don't care about their jobs much. It would be best to take Dual Enrollment, definitely. Thanks, and good luck!
The teachers at this school really care about the students. If a student is struggling, they give opportunities for test corrections, one on one meetings about concerns with the material,and they offer extra credit work. The teacher use multiple teaching style during a lesson to cater towards all students. This is really helpful because not all student process the lesson the same way. The teachers are very nice and passionate about their work and students. Teachers grade with the same consistency to all students. The teachers want you to learn the material, so if you do not do well on a test, they offer to go over the material or test again with the student after school. Fort Myers High has the best selection of teachers!
