Excellent school with top notch Faculty and Administration. The head of school really cares about the students and it trickles down to each Faculty member and Facilities workers. Sports are lacking as the school is so small but they are trying to offer as many different sports as they can. There are several parents who are very involved with the school which is a reflection of the schools core values. No cafeteria or gym so these are areas that can be improved upon as the school grows. They offer a healthy option as well as popular fast food delivery so it's not so bad that there's no cafeteria. The students are a little rowdier than other private schools but the Faculty seem to be able to manage that without suppressing their creativity and individuality.

This is a horrible school. I went here for many years and it does not even closely compare to any of the other private schools. Horrible campus without a gym despite the high tuition. The students are very close minded and the school teaches many issues that are political and that you should have your own opinion on, instead they force these ideas on you. Most students and teachers are leaving because of the horrible quality of education and high cost with no facilities. DO NOT go to IPA!!

I'm mad because I can't give less than 1 star. Academics are a joke. Can't keep a decent teacher. Very, very unorganized. No principal / Head Master. The guy that's in charge of college admissions is a joke. No structure. No teachers. No activities. This year was the worst experience we have ever had with a school, by far!!! If you care about your child this is not the place. Did such harm to my child grade wise. Might not ever be able to repair!

I used to attend IPA. The teaching level is extremely poor and all the good faculty leave. Now I don’t even stop by to visit because everyone who was actually a good person has left. IPA lost its foundation when people started leaving- I remember how welcomed I used to feel by everyone from admissio...

The school is being mismanaged by the management team.They cannot keep the hired staff (teachers/employees).They artificially inflate grades to keep the $20,000 tuition flowing.Rarely send home any homework and not challenged scholastically. They have no gym, no cafeteria, and sit on the ground to e...

This is a HORRIBLE school. I was here for 3 years and it just got worse and worse as students and teachers continue to leave. The school teaches close minded ideas that are political and will change your kid. It has no gym and the facilities are horrible especially considering the high tuition cost....

Ima keep it short this school is a waste of money. For $17000 you get less than public school qualities. You think it’s worth the money but it’s not if you can’t afford it or if u can, think about it are you willing to spend 17k a year on a 3 star school.
