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.

This is my seventh year at Imagine Prep. I have been enrolled since I was a 6th grade student. I like the small school atmosphere and have been able to make connections with my teachers. I especially appreciate the office hours and individual support when I need it.

I have never had a problem at this school. In the past, the Prep had its pros and cons, the cons being the heavier set party at that time.
