EDUCATION & ENROLLMENT
Lee County schools map and family guide
Explore public, charter and private-school options, then verify eligibility, transportation, program availability, admissions and current costs directly with the school or district.
OFFICIAL DISTRICT MAP TOOL
Search schools and transportation by address
Lee County’s MapNet tool can locate district schools and published transportation information for an address. School Board districts are not the same as student assignment zones, and a nearby school is not automatically the assigned school.
If the official locator does not load inside this page, use “Open full school locator.”
PUBLIC SCHOOL ENROLLMENT
Registration first, then School Choice when applicable
Upload required documents
Prepare parent photo ID, birth certificate, immunization and school-health records, proof of address and prior school records; high-school students may need transcripts.
Check the current window
The 2026–27 Open Enrollment window ran January 20–February 27, 2026 and is now closed. New and re-enrolling students should still complete online enrollment, then contact Student Enrollment for current assignment or transfer options.
Confirm assignment & waitlist
Review placement, transportation eligibility and Focus messages. The district’s daily first-choice waitlist phase ended August 28. Its published schedule provides one additional waitlist run at the end of the first quarter and another at the end of the second quarter, subject to available seats.

PUBLIC, CHARTER & MAGNET OPTIONS
Understand the school type
District public schools
Traditional elementary, K–8, middle and high schools participate in the district assignment and School Choice framework. Program access and transportation depend on district rules.
Public charter schools
Charters are tuition-free public schools but may operate their own application or lottery. Apply directly and confirm deadlines, transportation, uniforms and fees.
Specialized programs
Arts, career academies, IB, Cambridge, STEM, gifted and other programs may have separate requirements. Confirm eligibility and whether transportation is provided.
PRIVATE SCHOOL PLANNING
Estimated tuition—not a quote
Actual tuition varies substantially by grade and school. Application, registration, technology, books, uniforms, meals, athletics, transportation, extended care and capital fees may be additional. Use each school’s official admissions office for a written, grade-specific total.

Compare beyond distance
Ask about curriculum, student support, class size, extracurriculars, calendars, before/after care, discipline, faith requirements and graduation pathways.
Tour and verify
Visit the campus, confirm accreditation and admissions requirements, and speak directly with staff. This guide does not rank or endorse schools.
Property-search caution
Do not buy or lease based only on a map pin or school name. Boundaries, assignments, capacity and transportation can change.
