Ishpeming High School is great because of its history, community and its sports. It is a beautiful school that's very unique in its old styling, the only issue I've had is there being a lack of students due to Westwood being easier access to those living in far West Ishpeming

terrible experience, under paid staff that goes through belongings, Princaple/staff accusing students of false acusations with little to no evidence is a very common thing, miss treatment of special-ed children happens quite often, the best thing at the school is the lunch and even that is half boil...
