Imagine Prep Superstition - Apache Junction, Arizona

Eva Scholl

my child transferred into Imagine Prep a couple years ago now, she came from a not so good situation at another school into this school. She has a couple bumps in the road, however, the staff and the principal, Frank Stirpe, are absolutely amazing. They handle each and every kid as individuals and from what I have seen, they are truly on top of making the education and safety of the kids their #1 priority. Keep up the excellent work guys!

I had a child at Imagine Prep and it was a wonderful experience for him. He was somewhat socially awkward and had a troubled past before he came to me. Imagine welcomed him with open arms and made him feel at home. The smaller campus allowed him to blossom and he quickly made friends and had a great time. The teachers and other staff encourage him to be his best and helped him grow academically. It is a great school that has been rated nationally. He also joined several after school programs including basketball and they went far in post season to play. I would recommend Imagine to anyone that is looking for a smaller, more intimate school experience

As a graduate, I can recommend this class for those who want to ready themselves for college, yet deal with some sacrifices in terms of anti-bullying and communication between the administration and the employees.

The teachers are fully understanding of the subjects that they teach, and have shown to be helpful to students that need to get their grades higher. They also host lunchtime-based events such as Tabetop Club and Robotics Club, giving the students a chance to have fun before class starts again.

The bullying problem seemed to lessen over time, but it still lingers. It seems to occur more during class rather than before or after, especially in physical education. The teachers do not seem to have any way to control bullying when it does occur, and more so lets it slide.

Compared to the teachers, the principal is a different story. He seems completely detached from the teachers in every way possible. While the teachers care about the students and want to see them flourish, the principal seems cold, strict, and almost unattached. He acts as if it's more of a business than a school, and as such, treats the students as employees. He is also very intimidating, making him hard to talk to about issues with the campus.

The biggest problem is the disconnect between the employees and the administration. A previous teacher once told me that the administration was hard to work with, and was extremely problematic for the school.

Overall, while teachers and classes are excellent and do prepare you for college, the bullying problem and lack of caring from the principal make it hard to recommend.

This is my 8th year as a science teacher but 1st year at Imagine Prep. I absolutely love the the fact that it is a small, close knit group of people. Students and teachers both work toward the same common goal of obtaining an excellent educational experience. Mr. Stirpe, principal, and the entire administration staff have a strong vision for Imagine and are making great strides toward continuously improving the campus community

BEST SCHOOL YOU CAN SEND YOUR CHILD TO. I HIGHLY recommend sending your child to this school. There is zero tolerance for bullying, high achievement levels, fantastic teachers, and a ton of opportunities. I my self am a 5th year senior, because of my old school, but because of this school, I will graduate this year. Thank you Imagine Prep!

My son was being bullied at a different school so we transferred him to Imagine Prep and it has been great ever since. The school does many things that help to prevent all of that and the communication between the staff and the parents is remarkable. Complete 180 from any other school.

My son is a senior at Imagine Prep and he loves it. I am very happy with the extracurricular activities that they offer for him. He loves to skateboard so the staff let's him do that. He is just excelling so much at Imagine Prep.

We chose this school for my little brother, because we heard it's anti-bullying and that the principal doesn't tolerate bullying.. My little brother has severe ADHD and that is why he was being placed in this school... My mum went in one day to talk to the principal about my brothers grades (this being the 2nd time trying to schedule a time to meet with him) and she was sitting there waiting and waiting and the front desk lady told my mum that there was a pep rally, so my mum said she would just wait. I don't know why they would schedule a time when they knew there would be a pep rally, but that is besides the point. The front desk lady was not very friendly either.. After waiting a while and getting irritated the principal came in and went to his office with other kids, so my mum just left. Well, that day after school my mum picked him up and he gets in the car with his head down and holding his arm.. When my mum asked what was wrong he had said that 2 kids were picking on him.. One kid was calling him names and shoved him against the wall and punched his arm.. Well, after a few days of him saying that his arm is hurting my mum decided to talk him to get X-Rays done, and come to find out they found that he had a buckled fracture... May not seem so bad, but kids have growth plates, so if something happens like that, that can cause problems in the near future.. He had to wear a cast for a few weeks... I may not be his mother, but I am his older sister and I don't tolerate anyone hurting my siblings.. And hearing his voice and thinking about all that has happened to him, it makes me want to cry... My little brother now goes to Cactus Canyon and loves it there!! I am really disappointed and upset with the staff here...!!!
