The State of Florida recently released the state average of the FCAT and End of Course (EOC) scores, and students at Florida SouthWestern Collegiate High School Lee (FSWC) exceeded state averages by as much as 37% percent across multiple subjects.  All students in the State of Florida participate in the FCAT and specialized EOC exams based on subjects; and at the start of the summer, schools are able to see where their students are in regards to the testing data. 

“Our faculty and staff provide unique learning experiences to our students so they not only excel in testing, but in all areas of life and learning,” said Brian Botts, Principal of FSWC Lee.  “We operate with an open enrollment policy are very proud of our student’s progress and hard work. For staff and students alike, we are equally happy to see that the non-test focused learning environment we provide is successful.”
