Idea College Prep Reviews
Rating 3.97 out of 5 257 reviews
Idea Donna is great for students that want to challenge themselves with great Pre-AP, AP, and IB courses that are rigorous. Administration is great at encouraging and pushing students to improve academically. Software and teacher lectures are well implement in student learning and other sources are encouraged. IB teachers are always involved looking to help students with any essays they have. Other high school teachers are always open to writing letter's of recommendation or heavily involved in college process. Something that needs improvement is counselor/ mental health awareness. Funding for tutoring after school was removed as well as funding for materials.
My overall experience at IDEA College Prep is highly recommend because teachers push you to do better, more than you ever know. IDEA gets you ready for the big things in life such as a career for college. They prepare you for the intensive instruction you will be receiving in college. Teachers are very supportive and give you the necessary tools to sucessed in your high school years. They as well prepare you for the real world and life outside of IDEA. They gave me the experience needed for me to want to go to college and be successful in life.
I have been at Idea since I was in elementary. Being here has given me the opportunity to give back to my parents and make them feel proud of my achievements. Throughout my years I have learned the importance of the role a good academic life has in my life and how it impacts my success in the future. What makes Idea a good school is it’s rigorous courses. A lot of the times I find myself wanting to give up due to the rigor and yet I’m always surrounded by teacher who are there to motivate me and to help me with whatever I need. Something I wish could change are the uniform policies. I understand that some are enforced go maintain a safe environment but other I feel are over the top. That is why I think some uniform policies should change
