Imagine Middle at Surprise

I'm sure that they exist, but I could not "imagine" a worse place for my child to be educated. You and your child will sign a syllabus that outlines all of the academic and conduct expectations that your child should meet and will be strictly enforced by the staff. Yeah right... I fight at least three times a week with my child for violating the dress code because the faculty will not enforce it (makes you the bad guy). Though they tell you the child MUST turn in their work on time or suffer a 25% deduction in the earned grade or nothing for assignments later than 5 days, my kid regularly turns in work 3 weeks late and gets full credit. He's even turned in a a pile of work that was 2 months old. Thats dang near the whole quarter!!! They dont even grade many of the assignments and simply give an A for turning something in. I'm sorry but my 3rd grader could pass 7th grade at this school. They are teaching the children that tardiness, poor work quality, and disrespect of the schools rules is perfectly acceptable. I'm seriously concerned as to whether or not my child will be ready for 8th grade at another school. PLEASE look elsewhere.

Imagine has been a positive experience for my children from the day it opened. They have grown not only academically but also personally. They are given opportunities here that would not have existed in other area schools. The teachers care for them individually and show this in many capacities. I beleive that the Imagine experience has done wonders in preparing them for their future in college and life.

This is a fantastic school with small class sizes and a lot of technology to assist the students in their learning.

This school could improve where their administration and academics is concerned. Math teachers need support. Students are not encouraged academically, rather they are learning to be more concerned with their attire.

The Special Education Department offers a lot of encouragement, motivated teachers and tools for learning.
