I was very disappointed with this institution. It is an extremely toxic High School environment. Bullying and harassment is a part of their culture. In addition, communication from the school is inconsistent and unreliable, leaving parents and students uninformed. I strongly caution parents against sending their daughters to IWHS.

Everything here costs money even the sport banquet was $45 for each parent who attends. The school counselors left, the good teachers leave. When we pay $13,000 to go to school here why do everything cost more money. Is this why my child is in sports to pay extra. everytime we turn around someone asking for contributions

Expected more from this school with athletic programs. Teacher turnaround is a lot and the ones that stay don't seem to be employable anywhere else.

Highly disappointed in this school. It should be run by nuns not the current leadership. There is no even distribution of race because everyone is Hispanic. What a waste of money to send our daughters here.
7/27/2022
Lots of teacher turnover and the schedule is rather a mess. I don't think the girls use their time wisely; it seems a lot of time is wasted due to lots of movement and low supervision. Lots of busy work; academics are at level but not too challenging. Be sure to look carefully at this school and oth...

Awful. Its the administration's disorganized way of running the school and constant problems with effective management of the school and interaction with parents and students. I am still considering transferring my daughter before the school year starts because I don't see it getting better.
