An overview of Naples public schools
The federal directory lists 59 public schools in Naples, FL: 29 elementary, 10 middle, 13 high, 7 combined or other.

Across schools that reported staffing, the median student–teacher ratio is 14.6:1, lower than the statewide school median of 16.8:1. A ratio counts classroom-teacher FTE against total enrollment, so specialized programs and part-time staffing can move it; ask schools for actual class sizes by grade.
School choice options include 7 charter schools, 3 virtual schools. Application windows and lotteries usually open months before the school year.
Among 13 high and combined schools with 2021–22 civil-rights data, 9 reported students enrolled in AP courses and 3 of 14 reported computer-science classes. Confirm current course catalogs directly with each school.
About 44% of students in reporting schools were eligible for free or reduced-price meals in 2024–25. This describes the community served; it is not a quality signal, and community-eligibility schools can report differently.
