We believe that, given a choice, parents will seek out the best school for their children. On a daily basis, they see the academic, character, behavioral, and social growth of their children. Thus, parents are the most reliable measure of accountability and quality.
The single biggest difference between a government-operated public school and a public charter school is that parents choose whether or not to send their child to a charter school. Parents vote with their feet!
In our Spring 2011 survey, families nationwide reported 87% would recommend their Imagine school to others. How does this figure compare to you local school district?
Another measure of parent satisfaction is re-enrollment.
Our schools are about 90% full, and some have significant waiting lists.
