Paul Laurence Dunbar Middle 4750 Winkler Avenue, Fort Myers, FL 33966

"I am a 7th grader at PLDMS and my experience so far here has been amazing"

"I love it, but... Ive had an issue with a teacher before though , I don't know if maybe they were having a issue at home or something so I just let it roll down my back , besides that all those teachers have a kind heart , even the stricter ones they have there good sides. Mr.murell and mr.lynch keep you going , both there classes are my favorite part of this whole school"

"I am rating this school higher than most. The staff has worked with us on many issues over the past 3 years. I have two more children that will be attending. I am thankful Dr. Shaker took the time to personal handle one of issues. Honest, straight forward and keep us up to date. Again thanks to Dr. shaker and staff."

"As a parent of two middle-schoolers, I can truly say that PLDMS is a FANTASTIC school. Our children are so happy at PLDMS. The principal is dedicated to keeping PLDMS a safe and nurturing environment for all students. The entire administration, teachers, staff, everyone, they are all positive and uplifting, responsive and caring. My children are met with smiles each day and the teachers work hard to make sure that each student is making gains. The atmosphere of the school is one of community and togetherness, respect and integrity. I would highly encourage anyone interested in PLDMS to talk to parents of students (and students) that actually attend/have attended PLDMS, and not rely upon statements from people who have no experience with PLDMS. There are a LOT of rumors that just aren't true, it's an amazing school with a lot to offer to any student, whether they are gifted, non-gifted, interested in the arts, S.T.E.M. programs, playing intramural sports, after school activities, PLDMS really does have it all."

"If you hang with the right crowd and try to get good grades you'll do fine. Most of the teachers are nice, and the students are also."
