That row records 724 Total Points Earned on 10 components and a Percent Tested value of 100, and its Grade 2026, Grade 2025 and Grade 2024 cells all read A.

Because the Vero Beach charter's School Type cell is 04, which the workbook legend defines as Combination, it is graded on the high and combination scale: A at 65% of points or greater, B at 60% to 64%, C at 45% to 59%, D at 35% to 44% and F at 34% of points or less (workbook scale note and legend). The row's Charter School cell reads YES, its Title I cell reads NO, and its Percent of Economically Disadvantaged Students cell reads 5.1.

Imagine at South Vero is a public charter school serving kindergarten through grade 8 near Vero Beach, and section 1002.33 of the Florida Statutes sets the rules it operates under.

The school's website is titled Imagine Schools at South Vero, calls it A Tuition-Free Charter School and links an About Imagine Schools page for the organization whose name it carries (school website). NCES records it as a Regular school with Charter: Yes, Status: Open and a grade span of KG to 8, under State School ID FL-31-5006 in the Indian River district, NCES District ID 1200930; the 5006 matches the school number in the state grades file, and 31 is the district number both files use (NCES school detail).

For Imagine at South Vero and every other Florida charter, section 1002.33 says all charter schools in Florida are public schools, that a charter school shall be nonsectarian in its programs, admission policies, employment practices and operations, and that it shall not charge tuition or registration fees beyond those other public schools charge (section 1002.33, Florida Statutes). When applications exceed capacity, the statute requires a random selection process, and it lets a charter school give enrollment preference to groups such as siblings of enrolled students and children of the school's employees or governing board members. The same preference list adds students who completed the charter school's own prekindergarten program during the previous year and children of an active duty member of any branch of the United States Armed Forces. Below capacity, the statute says a charter school shall enroll an eligible student who submits a timely application, and it allows any eligible student an interdistrict transfer to attend a charter school based on good cause, which includes geographic proximity to a charter school in a neighboring school district. The same section makes a charter school accountable to its sponsor for performance, and if a charter is not renewed or is terminated, a student who attended the school may apply to, and shall be enrolled in, another public school, with normal application deadlines disregarded.
