Summary:

This school consistently outperforms the state and district averages in key metrics like graduation rates, test scores, and per-student spending, making it a standout educational option in the area.

Imagine School At North Port boasts impressive 4-year graduation rates ranging from 91.9% to 98.7% over the past 5 years, significantly higher than the state and district averages. The school also excels on a variety of state assessments, including End-of-Course exams, statewide science tests, and the FAST English Language Arts and Math assessments. With a higher per-student spending compared to the state average and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school appears to be investing significant resources into supporting student success.

While Imagine School At North Port shines in many areas, the school could benefit from focusing on increasing racial diversity, as it currently has a predominantly white student population. Additionally, the school has seen a steady rise in chronic absenteeism, an issue it should address to ensure all students are able to fully engage in their education. When compared to nearby schools like Charlotte Harbor School and Charlotte Virtual Franchise, Imagine School At North Port stands out as a high-performing option, though the virtual school also demonstrates strong performance in certain areas.

Open Quote This school has helped to mold & educate my grandchildren, in a way that I see as wonderful, they love their school, teachers and friends. This is a school that cares about your child, even if you out on the weekend and you see a teacher or even if they see you first, they acknowledge you. Thank you ISNP for helping mold wonderful young adults. Close Quote

Open Quote The leadership of academics and athletics are very unfamiliar with the aspects of their job. They lack the proper experience to take this school in the right direction. Over the past year , there has been a steady decline in all aspects of the school from Admin. Many teachers are excellent, they just lack leadership. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
