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.

The school loses teachers every year, the environment is not very healthy mentally, and overall is not the best.

I personally had a good experience during my time at Itasca High School. It was very welcoming and everyone was very inclusive and never left anyone out. The band program is the most successful program on campus and I am very proud to have been apart of it. Organizations at the school are moving towards a more student led approach which I really like because it gives each student the opportunity to become a leader and put themselves out there. The teachers and staff all love their jobs and the environment at the school.

Small class sizes. Teacher student ratio is great. Would be helpful to have teachers lecture during class time instead of expecting student to automatically know the subjects with very limited help.
