This School’s Reviews

4.0 Senior

10/24/2024

I like that there are so many opportunities to join clubs and activities at the school. Some times it feels that the guidelines for several sports and activities are not explicitly clear. At times it seems there are no guidelines. The teachers and staff do take pride in their teaching and students.

4.0 Alum

6/29/2023

There was a high amount of school spirit in both the student body and faculty. There is a large amount of traditions present, most within the freshman and senior year. One being the Greek Olympics which is a great experience for all Freshman, they compete in teams with their classmates for the coveted trophy. There are many teachers who care about you and your performance but also you as a person and are there to help you.

4.0 Junior

3/27/2023

The student body has a huge voice in the administration and how the school is run, which is way different than other schools. Because we're part of ISU, we have access to a lot of resources that the university students do, which is really nice. I'd like to see more diversity in both the student body and faculty, though.
