Yes, Imagine is a smaller school, but there are just as many opportunities here as most larger public schools. Here, I have been able to make a name for myself, know a large chunk of my classmates, teachers, and staff, and be a role model and leader in my community. It's common to be a small fish in a big pond at most schools, but at Imagine you can be somebody to someone, do big things, and be a leader.

My experience here is fantastic. The students are well behaved and fun, the teachers actually teach their lessons and the Spanish level 1 teacher Ms Weston is awesome. But most teachers punish students for no reason or if you slightly offend the other kids. You can barley use the bathroom, you aren't allowed to call your parent with your own phone, the young marines act like they own the place, and it just kinda sucks. But Ms Weston, Mr Horin, Ms Scarlett, and Mr Cole are awesome.

My overall experience at imagine high school has been a very helpful and fun experience. There are some time where I felt one or more of the teachers were disrespectful to certain students and that the targeted them but overall the school its self is very helpful with getting student connected through technology and with Covid they've been one of the best in North Port and in Port Charlotte

The upper campus nurse gave one of my children medication “accidentally” when my child does not take medication and m...

Up until 4 years ago the school was great. But now with thw current upper campus administration it has steadily declined. They are poison, and sexist. Do no attend the upper campus.
