its generally alright once you somehow manage to make friends that arent judgmental towards differing political views. the librarians are needlessly hostile though and they wonder why no one checks out a book. do we really need librarians anymore? seems like a waste when you can find literally any book online. the school is alright though. not great not terrible

the snowflake over sensitive kids ruin the "safe" feeling of the school and make it feel like you cant have any differing opinions or you get outcasted.

NESA is an amazing school, fantastic teachers at Lee and many of the kids leave their home zoned campuses to attend the great magnet programs offered at LEE (NESA/ISA/STEM) They know it is a priveledge to be there and work hard. I love the diversity Lee offers my child that she wouldn't have been exposed to at her home school.

Just trying to enroll my daughter was horrible. The older lady in the counselor's office was yelling at students non stop, really I was waiting to enroll for about 3 hours and she would tell amd ask them "what do you 2ant ehat do you need speak up!!!" My daughter hates the school because of how she gets treated by the staff. It's really dad to have these kids yelled at in that type of a way, they should feel comfortable, not scared.

My daughter is in NESA and has found Lee to be a really great school. Most of the teachers are excellent and really want their students to succeed. The principal stays in contact with the parents via weekly emails. We are happy with our daughter's experience at Lee.

My daughter is a NESA student. We have been very happy with the positive way the kids treat each other. Completely reminds me of Glee. I love the supportive environment. The teachers have been very communicative and supportive as needed. The Principal seems to run an outstanding school and is also very communicative with the student body and parents.

My oldest son recently graduated from the STEM RAM academy at Lee and my younger son is there now. I couldn't be more pleased with their education; the teachers are excellent and caring, the administration is responsive, and class sizes are small. My son will be entering college as a second-semester sophomore thanks to his performance on AP exams. The Lee students that I have met, either through my sons or through being a parent volunteer, have been uniformly respectful and kind.
