Lee County Acceleration Academies

Summary:

Lee County Acceleration Academies is a public high school in Fort Myers, Florida, serving grades 8-12 with a student population of approximately 00 students. The school is part of the Lee County School District, which is ranked 50 out of 68 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's high per-student spending of $41,603 (over 4 times the state average), Lee County Acceleration Academies is significantly underperforming compared to nearby schools. The school has an alarmingly low 4-year graduation rate of only 8.3%, which is drastically lower than the 82.6% rate at Dunbar High School, just 2.56 miles away. Additionally, Lee County Acceleration Academies has an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of 95.1%, more than double the next highest nearby school. Across all subject areas and grade levels, the school's test scores are dismal, with only 7% of 10th graders proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 47% in Lee County and 53% statewide.

The school's high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds (over 50% free/reduced lunch) and high minority population (over 90% non-white) may be contributing factors to the poor academic performance. However, these demographic factors alone do not fully explain the stark differences in outcomes compared to nearby schools with similar student populations. Addressing the root causes of these issues, whether through targeted interventions, resource allocation, or broader systemic changes, will be crucial for improving outcomes and ensuring that all students in the Lee County School District have access to a high-quality education.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
