Wouldn't allow my worst enemy to go to school here, much less recommend it to a teacher. Teacher overturn is high, and while most of the admin team
is good at what they do, the principal is incompetent. There's a huge group of kids who are multiple grades below reading level, and the school does not have the infrastructure or curriculum to address their needs efficiently. This leaves the load on the teachers who are expected to work miracles. No thanks.

The fact that this school calls itself “Ohana” meaning family, is honestly disappointing. The environment feels anything but that.

While there are a few teachers who genuinely care about their students, the overall atmosphere is closed-off and disconnected.

Many staff members seem overwhelmed and distracted, likely due to being short-staffed, and it shows in how things are run.

This school needs a serious review of its operations and priorities.

If you’re looking for a truly supportive environment, I recommend considering Suncoast instead.

If you’re going to call yourselves a family, act like one.

The teachers are accommodating with respect to the homework that is assigned.

Posted: February 23, 2019

They really care and go above and beyond to help each child be successful!

Posted: February 23, 2019

The Student of the Month awards are based on character traits such as these. The students are taught about these traits and celebrate those who shine each month.

Posted: February 23, 2019

Posted: February 23, 2019

Accommodations are made for children as they all learn differently.

Posted: February 23, 2019

They have bullying awareness days and the staff has a system in place if there are ever bullying concerns.

Posted: February 23, 2019

We love it and feel so comfortable with the teachers and staff.

Posted: February 12, 2019

We moved to FL almost 4 years ago. We toured multiple schools- and we knew as soon as we finished our tour at Imagine, that was the right school for our children. The staff and administration are kind and loving- and welcome the parents into the school/classrooms. They provide a top notch learning experience and are helping our children also be the best little humans they can be. Our time at this school has been wonderful and I look forward to the many more years we have there!

Posted: February 12, 2019

Homework is provided by the teacher as a reinforcement for what they are presently learning. Our teachers communicate with us each week on what is being given, when it is due, etc. I love that they don’t bog them down with unnecessary work- but just enough to review what they learned.

Posted: February 12, 2019

One of the many reasons we love Imagine, the amazing teachers! They communicate with the parents, they love what they do- and it shows through their teaching and interaction with their students. They truly care- and our students know that.

Posted: February 12, 2019

Amazing program in place to help our children, K-8, with their character development. A focus is put on multiple character traits and is explained to the students as to why they are such valuable traits. I’m especially thankful for this with our MS students- as they grow and develop their own personalities. It’s a wonderful feeling as a parent knowing that your child is not only learning academically- but also how to be a better person.

Posted: February 12, 2019

Thankful for the administrators- and once again- their wonderful communication with all the parents. They take the time to converse with the students, ask them about their day, etc. In addition, they encourage and support their staff/teachers.

Posted: February 12, 2019

We have an amazing set of teachers and Director that work with children in a smaller setting, often individually, to support the students with their learning differences- whether that be because they need extra help or because they’re advanced and need more challenges.

Posted: February 12, 2019

When you look and hear about the issues at other schools- I am confident that our school effectively handles any bullying issues that are present within our school. However, it’s also important to point out that we have far less issues- because of the wonderful character development program in our school.

Posted: February 12, 2019

Imagine School has a strong ESE Director who was a teacher at this school for many years and is compassionate and recognizes that each student is individual and treat them as such.

Posted: February 12, 2019

Matters are dealt with immediately, our school's resources officer is incredible. If a teacher is not handling the situation, then that teacher is removed, there shouldn't be any bullying

Posted: February 12, 2019

We love our Imagine School at Town Center, it truly is a small village raising incredible students (great human beings of the world). It's hard to believe that one of our child will be graduating from 8th grade this year, you have help us shape our beautiful child. Keep up the good work of building great characters. Our school also have incredible selection of after school programs; academic, athletic, social, community, etc...

Posted: February 12, 2019

Homework is designed to be completed in 15 - 20 minutes daily. It's a great to way to re-enforce, refresh what students are learning in class. We love the weekly and sometimes daily homework.

Posted: February 12, 2019

We have a collection of incredible teachers, our two children have grown up in this school and they always had loving, caring, smart, creative teachers who cares about them as individuals.

Posted: February 12, 2019

Imagine School at Town Center has been National Character school as long as we can remember and this year is no exception. They also celebrate Student of the Month (Character of the Month) with different character traits.

Posted: February 12, 2019

The principal, vice-principal, and all the support staff are amazing, they know almost every single student by their names and also their parents. Mrs. O'Grady and Mr. Menard truly believe in open door policy, you are always welcomed to express your opinions, suggestions, or simply disagree....

Posted: February 12, 2019

Overall an amazing school here in Palm Coast! I always recommend the school to new clients moving into the area! Thank you Imagine!

Posted: February 12, 2019

Posted: February 12, 2019

There are wonderful teachers at Imagine! My son has been here since the 1st grade and he is now a 5th grader. He has always had teachers that really care!

Posted: February 12, 2019

Posted: February 12, 2019

Mrs. O'Grady is a amazing principal! She cares about each and everyone of her Imagine kids!

Posted: February 12, 2019

Posted: February 12, 2019

This school is a loving, family atmosphere where everyone is accepted. It brings out great character is all students. The teaching staff and state test scores are excellent. The bus drivers are amazing. They know each individual child. Most also work at the school during the day as custodians, so the children see them throughout the day. This school also offer lots of after school clubs.

Posted: February 12, 2019

A packet is given out on Fridays and the student has one week to complete it so timing of the work is flexible for the family.

Posted: February 12, 2019

The teachers we have worked with are very engaging and encouraging to the students.

Posted: February 12, 2019

This school teaches and coaches students on a different character strength each month. Students are rewarding for their good character.

Posted: February 12, 2019

Posted: February 12, 2019

Posted: February 12, 2019

Any matters are dealt with and stopped immediately.

Posted: February 12, 2019

Teachers at Imagine are on the same page with educating students and modeling character

Posted: February 12, 2019

A national school of character with a program that is interwoven into all parts of the school day even the cafeteria.

Posted: February 12, 2019

Principal and Vice Principal, character coach and academic coaches are all very involved with the children. Kids know they can trust the administration and so do the parents.

Posted: February 12, 2019

The Intervention Team at ISTC is full of compassionate educators who truly want success for each child.

Posted: February 12, 2019

Everyone at Imagine wants students to be safe and happy, in a character focused learning environment. Beside that, kids just love being part of that family.

Some great teachers, but slowly they are all leaving and more and more new, inexperienced teachers coming on. Such a shame. Once was a great school.

Posted: May 26, 2017

They talk a good talk, but don't show those character traits in their day to business in my opinion. Say one thing and do the opposite, quite hypocritical.

Posted: May 26, 2017

Too lax and have no clue what goes on in his school, or won't admit he knows what goes on when confronted in safety issues. Anyone can get on and off campus without anyone in administration knowing it. Very concerning and dangerous.

Posted: May 26, 2017

Posted: May 26, 2017

Haven't had any issues with bullying or heard of any good or bad experiences.

Posted: May 26, 2017

Kindergarten was Amazing!! Had the best treacher and experience. My child flourished. First grade started as a nightmare. New, young inexperienced teacher who had no backbone or control in her class. Had to demand a switch in my child's class. Second grade has been better, BUT other the staff is lacking. First grade teacher Cursing at children, another 2 no grade teacher putting a child on bus when they don't take the bus, calling students stupid, pathetic aftercare staff, irresponsible children running the program, threatening children, one assaulting a child and anyone can walk on or off campus at anytime. Not a safe or clean school. Filthy bathrooms, floors and carpets in classrooms. The cafeteria yuck! The school and staff need a complete overhaul.

Posted: December 4, 2015

A family atmosphere of sincere educators and respectful students. With such a strong focus on character lessons and service learning, Everyone on campus feels loved!

Posted: September 8, 2014

Imagine is a great school. I have been here for many years and have not found anything wrong with it. I recommend this school to everyone. Go Imagine Lions!!!!!!!

Posted: February 7, 2014

This school is amazing! I have had the pleasure of sending my child to Imagine for 3 incredible years and have nothing but great things to say about the staff and environment. People complain that Mrs. O'Grady is never in her office but really... do we want a principal who stays in her office all day? I for one am ecstatic when I see either the principal or AP walking around classrooms. Is it too much to ask of us to make an appointment? I know that the administration has an open door policy, but I for one do not expect them to be at our beckon call. I for one am excited about the new changes in leadership as well. I am confident in knowing that Mrs. Kendall will fill Mrs. O'Grady's shoes perfectly as she has been under the direction of her since the very beginning and they share the same vision. It's cool knowing that she has served in many roles so she has an idea of the inner workings of the school. Im sure in some roles she has had - that at the end of the day, because of decisions that have to be made, will ultimately leave some people unhappy. To those unhappy - it IS a school of choice!!

Posted: January 17, 2014

My son has been here for three years now. The teachers are exceptional and caring , curriculum is challenging. My son is so happy here.

Posted: December 24, 2013

This school is incredibly unorganized, complete chaos.Lacks emphasis on education itself.Character development alone will not get your child into any college.I wish the principal along with all parties involved in the school's development would realize that. It is a low grade charter school where the focus lays on fundraising and parents to be "plugged in" as in continous physical presence in the classroom.Do yourself and your kid a favor and send them to the public school since this charter school does not outperform the public school. Terrible school!

Posted: September 25, 2013

AWESOME my son had mrs mayhew last year he did not want to leave her class she is a great teacher . he still goes in her room to see her and give her BIG hugs . I LOVE THIS SCHOOL and more important my son loves going to school thank you

Posted: September 17, 2013

Imagine Schools at Town Center has truly been the greatest support for our child. They have worked with us in helping our child meet with success. He came in from public school system in Second Grade and was reading in the 17 percentile. The teachers truly care for the success of their students and our child now feels like he is in a very safe environment that wants to help him with his learning differences. Our son is now is 6th Grade and meeting with great success. Thank you Imagine!

Posted: May 9, 2013

This is my third year here, to be honest, this is the worst year I've had. Next year, if your child is going to be in Middle School, if he/she is assigned with Mrs. Rodriguez, ask for Mrs. Casher. Reading, science, or civics? You won't have a problem with them, you'll think Mrs. Gordon (Science) is weird, but you'll get used to her. Back to math, watch out for both math teachers. Mrs. Rodriguez is supposedly "Advanced mathematics", but she is just simply full of boredom. She constantly threatens her students with detentions, and doesn't care about your child. Mrs. Casher is moody and miserable. At Open House, you'll think she's awesome, but towards the middle of the year, you'll dislike her. She writes you up for no reason, and obviously plans to dominate the world... Overall, I wouldn't reccommend this school, especially the disorganized and lazy administration.

Posted: February 13, 2013

We moved to Palm Coast in June not knowing the schools and placed our son the school that was our home school close to our home. He was bullied at that school and dreaded going to school and we started looking at options for him. We are so thankful to have found Imagine School as he is being challenged in his education and is growing and learning so much. His teacher is fantastic and very communicative. We love that parents have to be involved. Great academics, communication, and collaboration.

Posted: October 11, 2012

My family and I moved to the PC area almost 2 yrs ago in the middle of the year for my girls. We didn't know the schools but they went to a public school we lived near. I was totally unhappy and searched around for another school. I was told about Imagine and while taking a tour, my husband and I fell in LOVE. The middle school students help assist the elementary teachers durring their free periods. Everyone helps everyone. My kids are known by many teachers not just their own. I am recognized and greeted by all staff as I walk through the school. They allow me to stop in at any time and welcomed warmly. My kids enjoy going to school more than ever at Imagine!

Posted: September 4, 2012

This is my first experience with Imagine Schools and I am quite satisfied. The teachers, staff, and volunteers are extremely helpful and happy. My son was in a private school with a class of mixed grades. Bullying, and other unmentionables were tolerated and not dealt with at the school. The disciplinary action, and the organization is the best part of the school. It shows that children can and will be responsible adults. I thank all of the staff and those that os making it possible to run a successful school!

Posted: July 20, 2012

We had a terrible year at Imagine this year and my child will not be going back. Lisa O'Grady is the principal but you can never get a hold of her. I have been told that she wasn't there and then walked in to find her to definitely be there. I have left messages that were never returned. I hear teachers and staff talking openly about a parent they don't like or a child's behavior. These things should be kept confidential. No one seems to be interested in resolving a problem to the parent's satisfaction. The attitude seems to be "if you don't like it - tough" My child has always loved school, but this year at Imagine has ruined the feeling and all I hear is "I hate school" This is terrible and we have a lot of healing to recover from this devastating year. Please consider another school. This one does not care about your child.

Posted: May 15, 2012

This is my 7th grader's first year at Imagine and he continually tells me how much he likes it. He's getting straight A's, works hard, and has a deep respect for his teachers (which surprised me coming from a 13 year old!) The teachers are well educated and excited by what they do. At conferences time all five of his teachers sat with me as a group and together shared his progress. What a great way to get feedback. Most importantly the teachers show a love for their jobs and respect for my son, which I know makes him happy to go to school each day...and want to learn more. He does do PE, art and music...so don't worry. They are getting all that. As for the school as a whole, there's a wonderful sense of community there. It certainly feels like a welcoming place. My twins will be starting Kindergarten there in the fall!!!

Posted: April 24, 2012

I am so happy that I have all THREE of my children at Imagine. My only regret is that I didn't enroll them sooner. EVERYONE is so nice. Regardless how busy the day is for Mrs. O'Grady, she is out there every a.m. helping the kids out of the car "with a smile." As soon as you walk into the building you are greeted by Ms. Butler who is always professional. The kids just love her. There are teachers who aren't my kids teachers who know me by first name and know all my kids. They always say hi when you pass by them. The entire staff has been so helpful and I know if I or my children needed anything that I can go to anyone of them and get RESULTS! My children are so happy to be attending Imagine. They do have PE, Music, Art, and Library time. They also get to go on field trips unlike they did at Public School. The ladies in the cafeteria have gotten to know my children's face just by them going through the lunch line and know them now by first name. They see them on campus and always say HI. This is a very family oriented school which is great. There isn't one teacher that I've met there that I wouldn't want my child to have. WE LOVE IMAGINE and THE IMAGINE FAMILY!

The office staff is very disrespectful especially Marie. The school staff say they wants the students to be honest, respectful, and integrity and yet they lack that themselves. If you need principal O' Grady for any reason they say that she is busy and they give you her voice mail. Kristy Kendall lacks ethics and a moral compass and should not be in a position of disciplining the students when she acts as bad as they do. My children frequently come come with bumps and bruises. This school has a discipline problem. The teachers are very confrontational you cannot talk with them civil about your concerns about you child without them taking offense. In fact the front office worker Marie told me to that Imagine is a choice school so if I don't like the school to send my children elsewhere ....that's real professionalism there... And the PTO meetings are worthless its just a bunch of egos. Until this school makes some serious changes you are better off sending your child to public school or another private school.

My daughter used to go to Belle Terre were she was intimidated and teacher screamed at her she was getting sick in the mornings not wanting to go to school for the first nine weeks in first grade. I had no choice but to place her at Imagine School which is 25mins away from my home. Ever since my daughter started this school she had a big change in attitude and in learning. Very happy with Imagine they all work together as a team and focus on important things and most important RESPECT! She will definitely finish all the way thru 8grade.

Posted: October 2, 2011

I transferred my son to Imagine to repeat kindergarten last year. Within 1 week all teachers working the car rider line new his name and greeted him warmly. Uniforms not only make our mornings easy but instill a sense of responsibility in my son - he knows when he puts on his uniform he's going to "work". The school just started an after school performing arts program that we're very excited about! Parent involvement is mandatory which helps in countless ways. Highly recommend! (A comment was made about the car-rider line in a previous post. It is working smoothly now. I heard many parents from other schools moaning during those first few weeks as well.)

Posted: September 10, 2011

The post from September 4th obviously has never been in ISTC. The school offers PE, Art, Music and array of after school activities that have done great things in our community (featured in all local newspapers). Its seems that this person did not receive a job so lets bash a school. The teachers are awesome, the programs cater to the individual student and as far as the building or pick up line; instead of complaining parents, do something about it!! Talk to your child's teacher, volunteer to help with the line. Every school has problems to solve; only Imagine will let the parents be part of the solution!

Posted: September 3, 2011

What good is a school if social programs such as PE, Art and other classes of the such are not offered. Most schools offer these yet imagine does not. Also, I think that as long as your a friend of a friend of a friend of you dog groomers cousin, you can get a teaching job here. It's who you know, not what you know or how you teach. Not happy with this school. Also heard that although more buildings were built , the financial mess that the school is in, will be exposed soon.

Posted: August 30, 2011

Is anyone out there paying attention to the new "pick-up" line after school. Outrageous and demonstrates a total lack of planning. Let's increase the student population by aprox. 400 without any consideration or planning for the increase in traffic flow. We're now driving on sidewalks to get the children! Laughable if not so sad, and don't forget to allow another 1/2 tank of gas a week just to idle in the heat for 1/2 or more. Even the sheriff's assisting traffic are not happy about this total lack of foresight by the school causing traffic jams. Common sense literally went out with the baby's bath water on this one!!!

Posted: April 28, 2011

Imagine is the best school in Flagler County by far...Moved our son here mid-year, he so much happier and his school work has improved drastically. He was so far behind from Belle Terre. At imagine they take their time with the students and spend some actual one on one time with them which is so important and most public schools do not have the time or care to do this..My son is not just another body at this school the Staff are wonderful and all take the time to get to know the students on a personal level everyone knows our son there and he feels important..All I can say is wonderful things about this school, too many to list..

Posted: January 14, 2011

This school is so different from any of the area's public schools for many reasons, but the one that drew me to it was the smaller size. My children can excel and shine in a smaller environment and that does a lot for their self esteem. I do not feel that my children are receiving less of an education or lower standards. True, many of the teachers have very little experience, but their passion for what they do is much more consistent. My children are actually being TAUGHT instead of TESTED. If the state and county would let the public school teachers TEACH, there would be less of a difference. However, given the current political climate, Imagine blows away all local elementary schools for the needs of my particular children, based on my priorities as a parent. All of that with a LOT less money from the district, too.

Posted: January 2, 2011

People are complaining about trifling things like no library, no music rooms, not enough social activities, no P.E course/its own space, no art room. But let me ask you this; what does any of these things do for your child in the long run? The people who are going to except your child into their college aren't going to be running through your child's middle school life to find out Oh hey! You participated in P.E, good for you!" If you want your child to exercise and the school doesn't have the resources, YOU make them. if you want them to excel at art, BE A PARENT, all you need to do is say keep up the good work and supply them art pencils. Do not expect this school to give something it cant due to its funding, if you are, that is foolish. Don't let school do the job you as a parent should be doing. As for the leadership skills that so many of you say your child or student lacks, whose fault do you think that is? The teachers? The students themselves? No, it s you the parents! if you believe your child lacks something its because you lacked to give it to them. Do not expect these teachers to do the job of a parent.

Posted: December 12, 2010

people do not deal with imagine, they dont have to worry, unless your kid was not listening to you when you told him/her to ride or not ride the bus and they do not show up where yuo would like them to be... that isnt imagines fault, its between you and your child. do not start yelling at them for something they did not mean to happen because of your communication skills. this school is free, a free amazing school with reg school dances and field trips, eduacation, it might not be a higher as in honors classes, but it is regualar, your kids will pass, they dont have to be the smartest, they will get it sooner or later. let me tell you who are reading this something, high school has a lot less communacation skills then imagine, they will contact you if anything you should know about is happening or has happend, between your childs saftey and events going on and other things. be proud of this school and how well its done, not bag on it...
