GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

Overall my personal experience has been great, thought i have had some moments where me, as well as others, have had no voice over issues and the adults would have the power which i think is extremely wrong. In this school it's sort of impossible to have a say or defend yourself without a teacher or admin abusing their power. I definitely think this needs to change.

Innovation academy produces very well rounded students both socially and academically. With a heavy focus on project based learning as well as a focus on oral presentations, Innovation is preparing the students for furthering their education in a college setting and giving them the tools they need to be great communicators outside of a school setting.

This school exposes students on more advanced outcomes in real life. Their one on one, teacher to student extra help prepares students to make an academic relationship with their future professors and bosses. The community itself is very welcoming to all groups. The teachers truly care about the students and their success.

(This review is going to be coming from someone who has gone through all 4 years at the middle school and 1 year at the high school so most of what I’m going to say may not apply to the high school here) If you want to go to a school where teachers actually get to know you, you get a lot of hands on...

We’ve been extremely happy. Are there things we don’t like? Sure. But our kids are happy and engaged, which is half the battle. Interested families should visit the school, take a tour, and speak with other parents to decide if it’s a good fit.

The below comment is about 3 years old, and based on our current experience, we would strongly disagree with "HOT MESS!" comment. In fact, it's the reverse! This is our daughter's first year at IACS, and she is LOVING it! We would refer IACS to anyone who is searching for a community built upon Crea...
