GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

IC Imagine was an amazing school. Having graduated from this school, I had seen first-hand the great and no-so-great pieces of this school.

Treatment seems to feel different depending on your families income level and how much they could potentially donate to the school. I've been constantly told how suspicious I...
