I was in Idea since 3rd grade. The School supports the students a lot and the they strive for each student to get into college with them helping you in every step of the process. I rarely had any bad experiences personally.

The education is Great over all but they drain you out so much with exames and classes that you don't get to enjoy your high school experience

It is a good school but unfortunately we are kind of struggling with money because we cant pay for major events but there's a lot of fundraisers
