Overall Imhotep was a pretty cool experience. I didn't get my full four years due to the global pandemic but when I was in the building it was good for the most part. The staff cares about you and makes sure you're doing well in the classroom but outside of it as well. The only thing I didn't really like was the yondr pouch system because sometimes when we're not doing anything it would be good to be on my phone. Another than that I would recommend to going to Imhotep Charter you will learn a lot from there, it's an African centered STEM school that's improving every year.

I love that Imhotep is family oriented. I loved going to school everyday, and feeling the sense of home. Sometimes our academics werent challenging enough, but we have a lot of school pride. The staff goes out their way to make sure our needs are met.
