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.

my experience in the school is really good it is a very safe school and the food is free although the school does not have as many resources as other schools, the school does what is necessary to provide the best to its students my experience with the teachers is very sociable and united as well as the students since I have made many friends and the atmosphere is very pleasant.

As a upcoming freshman for college, I had spent my better half of my years at Idea. To start, they have always pushed their students to strive for the best and to attend college. They have personal counselors there to aid in going to and through college. With friendly staff and even friendlier teachers, I was taught how to be college ready and was prepared for the next steps of my life. Of course, other then the free food, there is nothing else to change about this school as I imagine it to be thriving for years to come.

What I did enjoy about the idea experience was the environment the school created from the moment you step foot into the school you are greeted by teachers and staff. The best part of this experience was that it felt very professional, once the class started, we would be told to write down our homework on our planners to ensure that we wouldn't forget to do it. What I enjoyed a lot was that they provided the planners for us to be successful. From the start we are taught about the core values which were what brought most of the school together. Having strong core values for students was a must and something that i still remember and still use to this day. The only negative thing i have to say is that as you move up by grades lunch time gets cut in half and the recess time is taken away, this removal of recess time felt as if we had no time to cool down after long hours of class it felt as if we they were trying to get us back in the classes too fast. overall though it's a great school
