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.

This school is good if the student need to learn English and comes from a Hispanic family. In ISLA with the help of the amazing staff and teacher student will learn English fast but after you already know English. The opportunities that the school brings you goes down. If you are proficient at the language ISLA is not for you.

Is a very good school , the teachears are the best and the staff helps you . The food is average , it can be better as well they can have more clubs . The cooking club should continue and be helped , I personally loved is just so awesome.Give it a change . They have such smart students in which many colleges should get intered and also as any school the bad kids also can get help.

In my school everyone has their own talent. We love sing and dance, you probably can see that in our walkways. I.S.L.A. is the home of miles kids who come to this country for the first time and gel them to adapt well. Everything is cover with many colors because this is what we are: different but in the same time we are together.

Without a doubt, the only true public bilingual school. Your children like mine will walk out with 2 or more languages, and admission to a college or university. I could not be more pleased with this school!
