Before when I wasn't in IDEA I had really bad grades sometimes I didn't listen to the teachers, or do my assignments. When I went to IDEA I improved so much in my academics with the help of my amazing teachers they pushed me to pass their exams and class which is why I'm so grateful for them because they were part of the reason why my gpa is a good.

Idea throws all students into AP classes and holds high standards for attendance and community service. At times it can be difficult to keep up with the expectations but this school really does help prepare you for the future, and idea is 100% dedicated to students matriculating to college, they'll be with you every step of the way.
