Indiana Area Senior High School Reviews
Rating 3.62 out of 5 144 reviews
Indiana isn’t the largest school in the world and it’s size does limit what one could get involved with at the school. For example, the club and sport selection is very limited with the school missing a ping pong team as well as a debate club (both of which would be popular among students). In addition, Indiana has only 14 out of the 39 available AP classes with AP European History being taken out of the list last year. Despite the limitations however, the atmosphere and community make up for it with sports games having high attendance and crowds that make it obvious they are proud to be Indiana. There is always volunteer work available to students with most choosing to take time out of their schedules and help not only the school but the surrounding areas as well. While the size may restrict the school’s ability to provide students with adequate academic opportunities and organizations, the energetic and service focused community most certainly makes up for it.
My experience has been fairly typical over the past four years. There's been ups and downs, but nothing particularly significant. I feel that my school is really great at giving opportunities and making them avaiblable. It offers a wide variety of courses and clubs and is able to put you into contact with just about any resource you may need. In addition, the teachers are extremely supportive and helpful. However, I feel IHS could do better with giving more recognition to those in STEM. Sports are reported at least once a week, but other academic events are not, even when they do occur. The general student body can also be vain, or dismissive of those who are different from them. Of course, not everyone is like that, and this is simply my own personal opinion from what I've experienced or witnessed thus far.
As a student who goes to This high school, its not great.
Students are extremely homophobic, racist and close minded often bullying people and calling the slurs- and teachers do nothing. Not many options in clubs, TERRIBLE plan with covid. Some teachers do not even have online formatting, so if you get quarantined , you just get buried in school work.
The academics are okay, but considering with everything going on Mental health should be a priority.
Another issue is the social hierarchy, if you didn't have friends in middle school you definitely won't have friends here.
But i will be honest, most of the teachers are extremely friendly and can be super helpful :) its understandable that they are stressed too, but i wish people would remember that high scholars are still children and have trouble coping.
