GREAT school all around! Teachers really care and staff too. I have a child attending 8th grade who LIKES going to school now. He was in a public middle school last year and hated it. Academics are challenging for gifted and individualized care brings out the best in kids!! Thanks Chancellor for such an encouraging environment pre-high school. KUDOS!!!

We moved our son to this school primarily because we it would take him through the 8th grade. We wouldn't have to go to a traditional middle school ,when in my opinion damage happens to our children because they become a number and cease to be individuals. If they get in with the wrong crowd they start failing. I like Chancellor because they provide the kids with individual learning plans according to their ablilities. My son had a different teacher for Math and Reading as he was in a higher level group, where in other subjects his ablility might be more average he would be with whatever children were on the same level. If the children start improving or need more help in a certain subject they may move ahead or go to another classroom where they might get either more challenged or get extra teaching in things they might need more help with. Class size is small and the Principal is very hands on, even standing in the drop off and pick up lines greeting parents much of the them. We are happy to be at Imagine and will be returning happily this fall.

This was my sons first year at school and becuse of the training and caring of his first grade teacher, she let us know that my son needed some extra help in his reading. he was below average. with tutoring and an excellent first grade teacher he is going to second grade and we have no worries that he will have any problems with reading.

my daughter came to this school mid-year, but just in the short amount of time she has been here the school has made such a difference in the quality of education she is receiving. She is thriving. Her kindergarten teacher, miss pat, is amazing with the children. She truly loves each one of them. This school focuses on creativity as well as individuality. The children visit a nursing home regularly and always have fun family nights. If I need to speak with the teacher, I am always welcome to come in or all..no impersonal Emails. I can't recommend this school enough. And principal Mardyks is so friendly and caring and involved with the children.

My daughter attended the school when we lived in Lake Worth and her love of learning stemmed from their marvelous teachers, creative ways to help the children explore their subjects and the know how to instill pride in their school and in their self esteem. We would attend again if we lived in the area. We're so happy that there will now be a new middle school.

100 percent happy all the way around.I spent almost 60,000. in private school and we both had stress!!!!!! At Chancellor we had fun and I new she was safe.The teachers listened to me,I had a say in almost every thing.My child is straight A's all perfect scores in conduct and 3 grades ahead in reading.No tutering unless the teacher wanted her after school here and there and we threw in popcorn money.When my daughter is at home she is a regular kid with 20 minutes of home work.Our family feels its like when we where kids.Love this school!!!!!!!!

This is THE BEST school in our area (Palm Beach County). Nowhere else will you find the staff creativity, student nurturing or academic challenge. This is the an amazing school, with fantastic teachers, motivated and thriving students and the most involved and loving principal EVER! They are building a new school for next year so our children can now stay with Chancellor through the 8th grade....we are thrilled. If you are an interested parent, and I know you are because you are looking the school up here, then do your child, and their academic future, a favor and visit Chancellor~you will not be disappointed :)

I am a new parent with 2 girls in Chancellor. One of the most wonderful things that impresses me the most id the unconditional respect our kids are getting there. I have kids given the same respect as the staff....you dont realize how important that is until you attend a school where your kids are treated like little soldiers & the office staff barely looks at them wehn they are spoken to...not at chancellor, our kids are neing talked TO not AT...hope this leaves you feeling good about having your child there, it does me

This is our first year here.. and the homework my 2nd grader gets is unbelievable.. But considering he was behind last year in another local 'grade A' school.. I'm not complaining.. Last year, I had to hire a tutor all through Summer to semi get my child to catch up.. This year, Chancelor offers an AM tutor w/o fees! As for the Principal, Dedicated Staff & other parents, we've HAD NOTHING BUT positive experiances.. My child, is so involved now! He's in Boyscouts, which is located on campus.. As well as guitar classes after school (on campus) & we even joined local baseball which the same children and parents are a part of! KUDOS to Chancellor we wished we had done this sooner!

My daughter and I love this school. The teachers are dedicated, Dr Laura, the principle, goes out of her way to show the students she cares about them. There is a great variety of after school programs to choose from.

My daughter started 2nd grade at Chancellor 6 years ago. She excelled after being a small private school. Our 3rd grader is well known in Chancellor which makes me feel more secure where she is all day. I have never regretted a day of enrollment. Every school has issues but with parent involvement and communication Chancellor is a great success.

this school provides an excellent opportunity for students to have a hands on learning experience the fifth grade is departmentalized to help kids learn about middle school..science is exceptional

What a great school! Dr. Laura and Ms. Lianne have turned this into an A+ school. Everytime I see Dr. Laura she's getting a kiss or a hug from one of the students. It makes me feel good knowing that my daughter's excited to go to school everyday. The class sizes are small which gives the teacher more one on one time. Tthey have added a music class this year. Keep up the good work!

The School Grades are calculated by adding points earned from each of the performance criteria listed above.
