Lee County School System
239.334.1102
View Map
Lee County Public Schools is the 60th largest district in the United States and we proudly educate nearly 80,000 students in grades K-12. Unlike many U.S. urban districts, Lee County's population continues to grow at a rapid rate. For the 2006/07 school year, Lee County had the highest increase in student enrollment of any district in Florida - in fact, many districts saw their student population decrease.
The reason for this continued growth is obvious - Lee County's 585,000 residents live and work in an attractive environment. Exotic trees and plants flourish in the subtropical climate, and local waterways support a host of fish, birds and other animals. There are beautiful waterfronts everywhere.
Schools in Lee County play a key role in community life. With approximately 11,000 employees, the School District is the county's largest employer and with the District's extensive construction program to build new schools and renovate existing buildings, the District is also the area's largest developer. Construction projects are always under way to ensure that the area's educational facilities stay abreast with the community's growth. |
