GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I really like International School, because of the close-knit environment which allows students to learn. Most of the teachers are very good and knowledgeable. One thing I would like to see change is that I would like the school to move to a new building.

Although I had a rough time adjusting to a new environment, the teachers and students were more than eager to help me feel comfortable in my surroundings. I can't be more thankful to those around me for helping me grow into an independent student who has the ability to speak her mind and make the most of life.

What I liked about International were many amazing different clubs. I also really liked the teachers and focus week. I also loved the trips that we went with our high school classmates. Also High School Retreat was really fun. Our plays were very cool to watch. I thought it was amazing. This school has so many fun programs that other schools don't have which is what makes International special with how diverse our school is. One thing I think should be changed are some of the topics for focus week or including more different field trips or vacations we can attend with our classes.

I graduated International in 2010 and have nothing but high praise. I appreciated the 7x7 curriculum and felt very prepared for my college level courses. Due to the school's size, getting involved in extra-curriculars is very easy. I also formed close relationships with my teachers and students in t...
