Many issues: 1) teachers are average, with a few notable exceptions, 2) this is a very small school and student drama was toxic, and 3) the IB structure is terrible both academically and emotionally. Students have all AP classes, which translates into an extraordinary workload, while students work toward cumulative senior exams to earn an IB diploma. Projects and exams are graded by a silent international governing committee with zero accountability. The grading system also requires that teachers grade down work done in early semesters so they can increase grades by the last semester, and falsely demonstrate performance improvement by year end. With COVID this year, exams were cancelled so teachers ‘projected’ what they thought students would score on exams, and then submitted grades to this secret committee for diploma award decisions. This approach is riddled with favoritism. In retrospect, I would NEVER send my child to this school.
The school is great in terms of educational purposes since it challenges my mind and helps in preparing me for college. It's also great in terms of people as all my friends are extremely smart, caring, and accepting which makes me look forward to walking into school everyday. The workload can be very stressful which is a reason why it didn't get five stars, and sometimes the teachers arent as understanding as id like.
The Connecticut IB Academy is an excellent school with dedicated teachers in an interesting circumstance. With only 200ish students, the school climate is very family like: everyone knows everyone. Some people love it, others do not. I for one like it, it makes me feel very comfortable. In being such a small school, the teachers are very involved with student activity and know their students very well. Sports are played through the public high school quite literally next door (we are attached by a bridge). The teams there are very competitive. This year the boys varsity soccer team is 9-0-1 so far and are #1 in the state (I am one of the captains). In spite of going to different schools, the athletes are very accepting. Additionally, seeing different faces at sports is a nice change up from seeing the same people everyday at school. Overall, there is a very strong academic and extracurricular focus (IB coursework is very demanding) that I find very rewarding.
