3/22/2025

My experience at idea for the last three years has been lovely. They have got me acclimated with so many different people taught me how to be prepared for college professors in a college environment. They've also sent me up for excess by giving me different people to network within the future with their curriculum being a college acceptance to graduate that has pushed me to be accepted to my dream university which I have in many other universities in the process

I loved the relationships I was able to build with the students and staff there. If I could change anything about the school it would be to open up the entire 3rd floor and the duration of staff. Staff tends to leave after a few months or maybe a year and I wish they would stay because they're actually great people.

I like that the teachers and staff makes sure the student's are safe leaving the school. They was very kind and honest on school policies. They show respect to everyone.

I had a very bad experience at my kids old school Barrel Springs which has a higher review score. Even though I moved in 2020 I was hesitant to switch them.
