Imagine Superstition Middle is the sole public charter middle school serving grades 6-8 in Apache Junction, Arizona. With just 153 students enrolled, the school faces significant challenges in academic performance, with proficiency rates consistently below state averages across various subjects and grade levels. The school's student population is predominantly low-income, with 65.36% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

The school's SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 3 stars out of 5 to 2 stars over the same period.
