Imagine Surprise Middle's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is generally below the state average across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 8th grade science proficiency rate was 19% compared to the statewide average of 30%, and its 8th grade math proficiency rate was 18% compared to the statewide average of 27%. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the past three years, from 441 out of 854 Arizona middle schools in 2022-2023 to 340 out of 552 in 2024-2025, with a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Despite the school's relatively high spending per student of $15,772 for the 2019-2020 school year, its academic performance has not shown significant improvement. The school's 5.2% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year is also a concern. While the student-teacher ratio is not provided, the data suggests that Imagine Surprise Middle may need to focus on targeted interventions and support to address its academic challenges and improve student outcomes.
