Imagine Middle at East Mesa Inc.

Imagine Middle at East Mesa Inc. has one listed school, Imagine East Mesa Middle, serving grades 7–8. In 2024–25, the school enrolled 140 students and had a student–teacher ratio of 12.7. Its most important result is that 2025–26 proficiency was above Arizona’s statewide rate in both all-grades subjects reported: ELA was 45% versus 41%, and math was 35% versus 33%.

There are no other listed schools to rank against it, so there is no local top or bottom school; the clearest comparisons are with state results. Grade 8 math stands out most, with 41% proficient compared with 30% statewide, an 11-point advantage. Grade 8 ELA was 44% versus 39% statewide, while grade 7 results were 47% versus 43% in ELA and 31% versus 27% in math. Grade 8 science is the counterpoint: 28% were proficient, 2 points below the state’s 30% in 2024–25. The school’s advantage was larger in all-grades ELA than math, but grade 8 math had the strongest state-relative result.

SchoolDigger’s ranking improved slightly from its earliest to latest entry, though it did not rise steadily: it moved from 212 of 550 schools and the 61st percentile in 2023–24 to 203 of 536 and the 62nd percentile in 2025–26, after reaching the 66th percentile in 2024–25. The latest listing gives the school 3 stars; these are SchoolDigger ratings, not proficiency scores. The free/reduced-lunch rate is not supplied, and the list’s single-school size prevents local comparisons of school characteristics or outcomes. The ranking history is not a test-score trend, and the science result is from a different school year than the ELA and math results.
