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.

High school has been really great at IHS, it really allows you to create your own pathway to help you get to the things that will impact you in the best ways for your future careers, by your junior and senior year, you can pretty much decide what types of classes you deem the most important and it encourages taking responsibility and charge of how your future will be shaped.

Since starting as a freshman at IHS, I think I have had a great experience. I am excited about what is to come. Safety at our school is taken care of very well as we have drills almost every month to remind us students on what to do in case of emergencies. The sports programs are great. I would like to see faculty change in the way they treat students.

I've been going here for two and a half years as of writing this, and I think it's great. I don't go to dances or play sports, so I can't speak on that stuff, but I definitely can for the rest. Academics: There are TONS of classes available, there's even a history class that focuses solely on assassinations, and in Child Development, you get to actually *run a preschool.* My only complaints are on the limited APs and how they got rid of AP Euro. For languages, they have French, German, and Spanish. Diversity: IUP draws in a lot of immigrants, so that helps, but we *are* in Western PA :/ Teachers: Most of them are totally amazing. Especially Monsieur Dykun and Ms Nibert :D Food: Decent. But let's be real, it's an American public school. Expectations were *not* high. Activities: Lots of clubs, almost all created by students. Ranges from Greek to Drama to 'Love is Love' to a "Fellowship of Christian Athletes," whatever that means. Safety: There are rarely issues that I know of.

***This is a friendly advice to Black families. Don't put your kids through this high school. They will beat them down***This is not your typical city high school. It's run like a 60's small town high school in a predominantly White and extremely conservative Alabama community, with nearly all White...

I had a great experience at the school for 4 years. I am kind of going to miss it. I still try to stay in contact with my teachers and tell them how I have been doing. ISHS is also quite nice with modern technology and nice interior, so it does not look like a prison. Almost every classroom uses a p...
