IDEA College Prep - Pharr Reviews
Rating 4.15 out of 5 80 reviews
IDEA College Prep- Pharr has a tendency to withstand itself amongst their amazing cultural camps and values. The school's work ethnic is amazing, alumni work daily with the help of the teachers. Teachers and Staff are there motivating and encouraging students to always strive for the top. However, like any other school IDEA Pharr has its downsides. For instance, throughout my time in the campus the biggest rant and commotion among alumni is the lack of extra curricular activities. The school offers Soccer, Basketball, Track, Cross- Country, and Volleyball, recently they added Cheerleading, this be amazing for athletic students but what about the ones who strive for intellect. The school doesn't have UIL, which is an amazing elective for college resumes, including the fact that UIL offers multiple clubs like Mathematics, Spelling- Bee, and Writing. If the campus was to implement more extra curriculars, both the athletics and intellect students would be able to persevere together.
One thing that i like about IDEA College Prep is that they offer multiple AP courses. I believe that these courses will better prepare me for college and guide me through the long run. Something that i really believe should change about my school is their sports funding. We have never had a gym.Out cafeteria serves as a gym, lunch room, and event place. Our school should focus on bettering this in order to have a better high school experience for incoming generations. In addition, my school should have the option of taking dual enrollment classes for those who are interested. Dual enrollment classes, like AP courses, will prepare students and allot for more credits. Overall, my experience at IDEA has been both overwhelming and beneficial. I know that all the work they assign us will pay off in all of my graduating class’ futures.
Excellent teachers, friendly environment! There's a lot of AP classes offered for high school students and teachers help students in order to be prepared for college.
