Imagine Prep in Coolidge is a great place for students. The principal is very responsive to parents and the teachers take the extra time needed for personal communication. I am glad that my 4 children attend Imagine School.

School is awesome. What can I say, they do not tolorate poor behavior. Academics are rigorous and the principal is the best. His open door policy for parents and students is wonderful.

This school is amazing! We had switched my son from one school to another due to the teachers not taking the time to teach him. They treated him as if he had a learning disability which wasn't the problem. We moved him to Imagine & his teacher held him accountable & made him learn which he wasn't used to. It was a rough transition but he's improved leaps & bounds in all testing areas. I highly recommend Imagine Schools to everyone.

Teachers are what makes a school and this school has some of the best! For our sixth grader - both her teachers were ranked as "the best" for the entire state of Arizone based on test scores. Not only did they do a wonderful job of teaching, they got the kids involved, they created a place where the kids "wanted" to go to school, the kids excelled in their education - every thing was focused on learning while have fun and using the information. The dedication of all the teachers are what you dream of - but they have it. Fantastic school and teachers.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Arizona used the Arizona Instrument to Measure Standards (AIMS) to test students in reading and mathematics in grades 3 through 8 and 10, writing in grades 5, 6, 7, and 10, and in science in grades 4, 8 and 10. AIMS is a standards-based test, which means that it measures how well students have mastered Arizona learning standards. Students must pass the grade 10 AIMS in order to graduate. The goal is for all students to meet or exceed state standards on the test.
