Summary

Imagine School At North Port is a K-12 alternative public charter school in North Port, FL, serving 1,228 students and operating under the high-performing Sarasota County School District, which is ranked 9th out of 70 districts in Florida.

The school’s standout feature is its exceptional graduation rate, which has consistently exceeded 91% over the past five years and reached 98.7% in the most recent year—far outpacing the district (94.3%) and state (92.2%). This is a stark contrast to the nearby Charlotte Harbor School, which has a graduation rate of only 72.7%. Imagine School also excels in Civics and U.S. History, with 96% and 88% proficiency rates, respectively, significantly above district and state averages. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 18.7% is lower than the district (20.1%) and well below the state average (31.4%), and it is dramatically better than the 56.1% rate at Charlotte Harbor School. Notably, the school achieves these results with a remarkably low spending of $11,821 per student, compared to $65,548 per student at Charlotte Harbor School—over 5.5 times more—highlighting an efficient use of resources.

However, the school shows a clear split in performance: it excels in middle and high school subjects, outperforming the state in every end-of-course exam, but struggles in elementary grades, particularly in math and science. For example, 3rd-grade math proficiency was 51% versus the district’s 75%, and 5th-grade science was 61% versus 73%. This suggests a gap in foundational skills that the school successfully closes by secondary school. Additionally, math scores can be inconsistent year-over-year, such as 7th-grade math jumping from 57% to 83% while 8th-grade math dropped from 55% to 38%. Overall, Imagine School offers a compelling in-person alternative for families seeking strong academic outcomes and high graduation rates in the North Port area.

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

Open Quote Love the teachers but administration has gone downhill. They are in over their head and very inexperienced. Poor choices are being made left and right and it is very concerning. Close Quote
