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.

My school is made up of mostly latinos. Sports are limited and classes are chosen for us. Theres not many elective, and it's difficult to take classes that relate to what you want to study. They have good academics, but I would like to see a bigger range of classes

IDEA has so many opportunities there. It's not a huge number of students that attend so you will make friends. Since it's a small school you receive more individual attention. Very amazing school

Things that should change at idea is discipline. Most kids at idea is very disrespectful which disrupts class learning. Another thing they should have more things we could learn that interest the kids. Lastly they need to change the food policy, I want good food and a snack machine.

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.
