Summary

Imagine At South Vero is a public charter elementary and middle school serving 880 students in grades K-8 in Vero Beach, Florida. The school is part of the Indian River school district, which is ranked 7th out of 67 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Imagine At South Vero has consistently been ranked in the top 20% of Florida elementary schools over the past several years, with a current ranking of 536 out of 2,258 schools.

Imagine At South Vero significantly outperforms the Indian River district and the state of Florida in a variety of test subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school had 98% proficiency in Algebra 1, compared to 61% for the district and 60% for the state. Similarly, the school had 100% proficiency in Geometry, 90% in Civics, and strong performance in English Language Arts and Math across all grade levels. However, the school has had relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.3% to 35.0% over the past few years, which is higher than the typical range for the district and state. Additionally, the school has very low rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 0.34% to 19.5% over the past few years, significantly lower than the nearby public schools, which have rates ranging from 41% to 77%.

The lower spending per student at Imagine At South Vero, between $7,351 and $8,839, compared to the nearby public schools, which range from $11,161 to $13,964 per student, suggests the school is able to achieve its high academic performance with relatively fewer financial resources. This could be a result of the school's charter status and different funding mechanisms. While the school's strengths lie in its academic excellence, the higher chronic absenteeism rates may be an area of concern and could be impacting the school's overall performance.

My husband and I are both very happy with this school. I know from personal experience how dedicated and caring the teachers are. The new principal is WONDERFUL !!! This is a community school that welcomes feedback and Encourages involvement from the Parents. We Absolutely know this was the right choice !!!! Close Quote

Disappointed in the 5th grade experience. Teachers overworked and underpaid. Some are commendable. Others not. Disciplinary issues are confronted but not dealt with effectively. My experience and observation, of course. Many of the kids graduating from 5th grade were not moving to the Imagine middle school. Always struck me as more of a business than an educational establishment. I'm not quite sure why the Principal has just quit but he said that it was not the right fit for him. Afraid a lot of the kids and parents feel the same way. Close Quote
