I enjoy the environment idea builds for their kids. They are really helpful and really care for their children. The staff make everyone feel welcomed. Although I enjoy most of staff and environment. I would change the food that is given at IDEA.

The teachers really care about their students. The counselors are constantly checking in on you and make sure you are doing okay. The principle is very friendly and knows students by name. She is very active in the classroom.

Review Idea College Prep Weslaco

It's a really awesome school. They make sure that they get you where you need to be and also they make sure that everyone is going to graduate when you are in senior.

Attending idea was the best choice i could of done because idea focuses on putting students to and through college. Teachers help you apply to colleges and scholarships. They also help you after highschool with any hesitations you could have in college or in a real life scenerio. They prepare you for college classes by giving us college material, this makes it easier for us students to do college work. The amount of confidence and knowledge idea gives us students helps us overcome any situation in college.

Idea Weslaco CP is a very great School, it helps its student get college ready. This school really motivated me that everyone can attend colleges or universities . This school is also very close with its students if one needs help everyone helps one another its a really amazing opportunity, because no other schools are like Idea College Prep Weslaco this school is unique

In 6th grade I attended IDEA Weslaco College Prep, a charter school with kindergarten to senior year, that on my first day I felt I was in a completely different learning environment than my other middle school. A big change in experience from IDEA Weslaco College Prep than my last middle school is a college readiness class. In this college readiness class we did not go into everything about colleges, personal statements, etc as it was saved for highschool, however,we did read very much to prepare us for our current classes and future classes.
In my highschool years at IDEA Weslaco College Prep, we were required to take some AP classes and had a college readiness class called Road to and through college(RTTC) that went into personal statements, resumes, and what colleges looked for. My highschool experience at IDEA Weslaco College Prep was very educational as you learn more than what other public schools near me provide.I like my school because of RTTC and see it perfect

What I liked about Idea Weslaco is how they provided payment for all AP exams and ACT tests so they can have financial advantages. What I would like to see changed about the school however is for the staff to be more leniant on dress codes such as shoes, socks, and sometimes jackets.

The High school is geared towards college preparation. Academics comes first. When they say team and family, they mean it. I am completely prepared academically and socially for the upcoming challenges that college and adult life have to offer.

Thank you.

I like IDEA Weslaco because everyone feels like a family. The teachers are always there to support you, not only in class, but outside the classroom as well. I've been attending IDEA for 6 years, and I love everything about it.

I feel that this school does not meet the standards of even being called a normal high school. There is rarely good events that go on in the school. Although, there is so much learning that is considered good for college readiness. Often, we do not get teachers that are good enough to teach AP courses. This school would improve drastically by hiring better teachers that were good at making lesson plans for the whole year. The dress code at IDEA is way too nitpicky: if one small little thing is off with you're shoes or you forget to wear a belt, then you're immediately and unfairly punished. Overall this school needs better events to help students from all grades release stress.

I like the diversity at idea College Prep in Weslaco. I think they need to change the food system, not many students enjoy the food.

What I like about IDEA is the commitment they have with their students to show them what college is and how it is important.

My experience at Idea Weslaco College prep is excellent, the teachers care about you the academics are great, and the things I would like too see change are that they add more activities to the school more clubs and add better food.

Idea Weslaco College Prep is not that great. While the school does help you a lot during your junior and senior year, it is not worth attending any year before that. I will say though that the teachers, and counselors alike do assist you in college applications and things of that nature during your junior and senior year. The big issue with the school is that they are very strict in the things you can wear and accessorize with, and they are not the best at making school events. Lets just say that school pride and spirit is not their strong suit.

What I personally like about Idea Weslaco is that they are willing to support you no matter the outcome. They are always there whenever you need help, they believe that every student is capable to reach and achieve their dreams and goals. What I also enjoy is that they’re willing to be by your side whenever you come face-to-face with an outcome you can not over come by yourself.

The teachers at idea were always ready to help the students. And they care for them. This school makes sure that all the students who attend go to and through college. This school is able to get the best out of their students and makes sure that when they fall they are their to pick them back up again. This school offers an array of ap and dual enrollment classes with the ap classes being mandatory, this ensures that the students are ready for college corses and that the students can get college credits. If you or someone you know is serious about college this would be the perfect school to go to. Take it from a former student who just recently graduated.

Review Idea College Prep Weslaco

IDEA was a genuinely good experience; the teachers were very helpful and always cared about what problems we had. However, the administration was disappointing in how they never seem to enjoy their jobs. Aside from the negatives, IDEA really wants college for all and truly lives up to that standard.

Throughout my years here in IDEA, I have met some of the nicest and down to Earth people that have made my experience here more worthwhile. I have met some of my best friends here that I plan to keep in touch with. My teachers have given me a great education and have taught me some life changing things about myself. Overall, this school is a very good school that I would recommend.

I have attended IDEA Weslaco since 6th grade till my senior year and over all I have learned over the years this school can be strict but it is always for our benefit. They do so well in trying to get all the students on the right path as well as trying to prepare us for college. Although, I wish they would loosen up on some restrictions and have more fun to really enjoy mostly the high school experience. For example, they can have more events and include different cultural backgrounds in them or more educational trips.
