School Reviews

Since the comment below, the school has dropped Imagine schools for that very purpose and is making the changes needed to ensure the goals of the school are student focus.
The school also has MYP (middle school). There may have been challenges in the past, but things are looking up!.

Take your children out of here and RUN! This school steals money from the state by convincing you to enroll here, and spends it on Imagine Corporation's inflated loan for the awful building the call a school and on administrational fees. In return you get under paid teachers ready to leave in a days notice, shoddy computers, old textbooks, a ridiculous library, and poor quality food. They rotate staff in and out like a migrant worker. This school seems more of a school for juvenile deliquents than a charter one.
