EVERGLADES CITY SCHOOL

EVERGLADES CITY SCHOOL is a Title I public school that is part of the COLLIER school district, located in EVERGLADES CITY, FL with about 188 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 18 teachers, EVERGLADES CITY SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

EVERGLADES CITY SCHOOL is a unique, small-scale K-12 institution located in the heart of the Florida Everglades. Serving as the primary educational hub for the remote community of Everglades City and the surrounding rural areas, the school is part of the Collier County Public Schools district. Its isolated geographical location makes it a distinct fixture in the region, often functioning as a close-knit focal point for local families who might otherwise face long commutes to reach larger urban campuses.

Because of its status as a combined elementary, middle, and high school, EVERGLADES CITY SCHOOL typically fosters a tight-knit "family" atmosphere where students often remain with the same cohort and faculty throughout their entire primary and secondary education. The school curriculum aligns with district-wide standards while often incorporating the unique environmental context of the Everglades. By bridging the gap between a traditional classroom setting and the specific needs of a small, rural student body, the institution plays a vital role in providing essential educational access to one of the most geographically secluded populations in Southwest Florida.
