School directoryWhich private schools are registered in Lee County?
The Lee district's full private school register, 71 entries long, from big Christian campuses to two-room specialized programs. For each one: grade span, religious tie, accrediting body, enrollment as reported, and Step Up program flags (55 FTC/FES-EO, 50 FES-UA, 5 PEP).
