SCHOOL PROFILE DEMOGRAPHICS

Fort Myers High School is the oldest high school in Lee County. It is built on tradition, but is progressive in preparing students to be responsible, educated citizens of tomorrow. More than 400 students participate in the International Baccalaureate program offered at the school.In 2007-08 Fort Myers High School's IB program was awarded the largest number of IB diplomas in North America with 203 graduating seniors achieving this prestigious honor. Since the implementation of School Choice, space has been limited at FMHS. The staff and administration is committed to providing a quality and safe education to all students. We are number 1 in the district and academically competitive on the state and national level.

At Fort Myers High School, we are very proud of our student achievement. Again, in school year 07-08, FMHS led the district in all FCAT testing scores. On FCAT WRITES!, 93% of standard curriculum 10th graders tested met or exceeded a 3.5. The achievement is due to the commitment of both the students and staff to improve the quality of writing at Ft. Myers High School.

On FCAT 10th Mathematics, FMHS again led the district with 90.9% of the standard curriculum students meeting or exceeding standards. This achievement exceeded the district average by 18.5%.

With the focus given to FCAT Reading in school year 2007-08, the standard curriculum 10th grade students earning a level 3 or higher was 78.2% whereas the district average was 41.6%. In addition 75% of our standard curriculum 10th grade students scored a level 4 or higher.

2007-08 Demographic Data
Total Enrollment-1832
Minority-32.7%
ESE-Not gifted-9.6%

ESOL-2.2%

All teachers are a part of a professional learning community that meets at least once a quarter to share effective practices, reflect on data and make decisions to continuously improve student achievement.

Intensive Intervention in Reading and Mathematics

Students identified to have intensive learning needs in reading and mathematics are serviced through specifically designed curriculum and ongoing assessments that target the learnere's needs. These students are given an extended period of time (2 period on schedule)to learn and study in the area of intensive need. Also, these students are serviced through extended day programs.

Parental Access and Support

Master Schedules Based on Student Needs

The school's master schedule is designed to meet the students needs to satisfy graduation requirements and interests. After student course registration is held with the counselor, the student course requests are used to generate the courses, numer of sections and frequency of the classes in the master schedule. We use a software system called SILK.
