    Idalou high school was a great school! What I like about the school was that everyone was very supportive in what you do and the teachers would help you get to where you want to be. The teachers weren't just teachers they felt like family. The coaches were outstanding about your goals and achievements as well. If there was one thing I would change about idalou high school, it would have to be the books and calculators that we needed and weren't given. The history books needed to be updated as well as the calculators they provided us with.

    I transferred to Idalou High School when I was a freshman. I was never a popular student and didn't have much friends but what I did have was an amazing environment to learn and flourish in. The teachers and staff are impeccable in all ways. A teacher can really make a difference in a child's education and life, and having the ones that I did have was an amazing oppurtunity. I am blessed to have been able to be taught by Idalou ISD teachers.
    Idalou High School is overall a great school. Some of the administrators are obviously partial towards certain students and other administrators. While other administrators are absolutely amazing, unfortunately they are slowly being pushed out by the partial administrators. A majority of the teachers however their feeling towards students are still great teachers and will work with the students if the student is willing to put in the work and time.
