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.

Best parts are friends, Worst parts are Everything like, teachers, work. Teachers dont know how to teach and dont know how to help a student. And will purposely fail you. I would like to see new teacher that are willing to actually help kids graduate.

This is a great hand on, project based school. It has several dual enrollment opportunities as well as the ability to take classes for honors.

1st the school's food is bad and unsafe. One of my friends found a bone in her chicken and another person's chicken was almost completely uncooked. Many have gotten food poisoning . The teachers treat you horribly and don't explain things well, teachers treat you like you're a pet dog. The administration treats you unfairly and doesn't give fair punishments. Some people do things against the law and get 1 day suspension but if you get jumped you get 3 days of suspension. Please don't send any of your children to this school.

(This review is going to be coming from someone who has gone through all 4 years at the middle school and 1 year at the high school so most of what I’m going to say may not apply to the high school here) If you want to go to a school where teachers actually get to know you, you get a lot of hands on...

We’ve been extremely happy. Are there things we don’t like? Sure. But our kids are happy and engaged, which is half the battle. Interested families should visit the school, take a tour, and speak with other parents to decide if it’s a good fit.

The below comment is about 3 years old, and based on our current experience, we would strongly disagree with "HOT MESS!" comment. In fact, it's the reverse! This is our daughter's first year at IACS, and she is LOVING it! We would refer IACS to anyone who is searching for a community built upon Crea...
