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.

I liked that Mount Ida High school was a small school where we all knew each other and our families. I liked that teachers were willing to work with you if you asked. I liked that I was allowed to take my classes online and was allowed to be challenged through AP classes. I would like to see changes in more opportunities in sports and classes offered. I would like to see more participation and activities in the school clubs.

Our high school isn't the best but it is very small and there are good learning experiences. This year we recently brought in the HUB program and this has helped students greatly. Kids are able to come back and finish high school or work at their own pace to finish school. This is a great program and it will help our school a lot in the future.

The faculty has strict policies we are to follow. Most follow these policies but if some do not they have to be punished. The faculty is there for us to follow rules but they hate to see us not follow those rules.

She has kids she likes and k...

Mount Ida High School is not where you want you your child to attend. This school is the most inadequate school I have ever attended. The majority of students are all entitled and rude, thinking they know more than any of the teachers, and their parents endorse that behavior. Bullying due to jealous...

This school is an absolute joke from the teachers, coaches as well as the prin and super. I have never seen anything more depressing toward our world than seeing this school promote HATE and small town politics to the students by the teachers and the parents. If you are not from this area, you will...

I attended this school and the teachers were very good but the students are very immature (considering they grow up in such a isolated town) They all act as though they are still in 3rd grade. Overall it wasnt a bad experience but the students were very annoying.
