The top reported proficiency rate is 30% in Science. The lowest is 12% in Math.
Original Research by School Decision on Reimagine Prep
Reimagine Prep is a charter school district in Mississippi operating a single middle-grade campus, serving students from fifth through eighth grade. The school is listed under Republic Charter Schools, and publicly reported information indicates it will offer free school meals to all students for the 2025-2026 school year through the National School Lunch Program, removing meal costs for every family regardless of income. That is a concrete benefit with real financial impact for households weighing this option.
The student body is almost entirely Black, with only a handful of students from other racial or ethnic backgrounds. The enrollment skews toward the upper middle grades, with the largest concentrations in sixth and seventh grade and a smaller fifth-grade cohort. No free-or-reduced-price lunch data was reported, and information on special education enrollment and English learner status was not available, so those dimensions of student need are not visible here. Because the school stops at eighth grade, there is no graduation rate to report, and no high school course access data applies.
On state assessments, Reimagine Prep's results tell a mixed and generally concerning academic story. In math, proficiency is quite low across every grade, with fifth and sixth grade especially far from where the state expects students to be. Seventh grade shows a relative improvement, and eighth grade sits below that, but neither reaches what most would consider a strong level. A parent looking at these math results may want to ask the school directly about its math curriculum, intervention supports, and how it plans to address the gap between current performance and state proficiency benchmarks.
English language arts results are stronger relative to math, though they still vary considerably by grade. Fifth grade shows the highest ELA proficiency, with a meaningful share of students meeting the bar. From there, the picture softens in sixth and seventh grade before rebounding somewhat in eighth. Science, tested only in fifth and eighth grade, lands in a middle range, with roughly comparable proficiency at both grade levels. The science results are neither a bright spot nor a deep concern on their own, but they sit alongside the broader pattern of low math performance that dominates the academic profile.
No multi-year trend data was available, so it is not possible to say whether these results represent improvement, decline, or stability over time. Participation rates were also missing from the data, which means the proficiency figures cannot be checked against how many students actually sat for the tests. Both gaps are worth noting: without trend lines or participation context, a family is seeing a single-year snapshot rather than a trajectory.
We looked for information about the school's location, community context, housing market, staffing ratios, discipline practices, and program offerings, and none of that was present in the available data. There is no locale brief placing the school in a specific town or neighborhood, no comparison set positioning it against nearby districts, and no civil-rights reporting on discipline or access. The school's website was not provided in the entity record. This leaves a real gap for families trying to understand the peer environment, the surrounding community, and the day-to-day school climate.
What the data does support is a clear, limited picture. Reimagine Prep is a small, nearly entirely Black middle-grade charter school in Mississippi where ELA and science results are modest but present, and where math proficiency is low across all four grades served. The free-meal program is a genuine financial benefit for families. Beyond that, a parent would need to go directly to the school for answers about academic improvement plans, staffing, special education services, discipline, and the community the school sits in, because the available record does not cover them.
