I’m a sophomore in the IB Program. The academic programs are very advanced, but that means it’s time consuming to the point of a lot of students sacrificing either extracurriculars or their health. Most people I know barely have time to themselves, but since the standards for IB are so high, teachers don’t seem to care. I notice that a lot of students are either self-deprecating or very elitist. There are students who panic over getting a B and are extremely hard on themselves, and those who make fun of others for getting low grades or other schools that have lower test scores. However, the music programs are great. The marching, jazz, and symphonic bands perform and travel often and do great at competitions. Our football team is pretty bad, though, but I think basketball is alright. Competing clubs like DECA and HOSA generally do really well, often making it to state level. IB students are obsessed with overachieving, which can be good but also really unhealthy.
The IB program adds lots of competition to this school. There is a lot of competition for being the best. Students are very exhausted because of IB and AP classes, especially the AP and IB tests in May. There are a couple teachers I really like, their personalities are friendly, but some have good personalities but not the best qualities in a teacher. They get easily distracted with other students and it is hard to stay focused in that learning environment. One of my favorite parts of Interlake High School is the Horticulture program. We host plant sales 3 times a year and students get the opportunity to have work experience by picking up shifts at the plant sales. We complete work orders every week, and it is a great way to contribute to our community and learn about our earth and gardening, especially the business side of the horticulture industry. Our teacher is supportive and she makes the learning environment enjoyable.
Based on the overall school dynamics, I would rate the schooling at Interlake High School as a 4 out of 5. I like the teachers and their willingness to help the students prepare for the course-related AP/IB exams but also their interest in the child's progress for their future endeavors. I do believe that the diversity at the school might make the learning environment more competitive and though it might be stressful for others, I personally grew from learning from my more advanced classmates. Though there is a lot of stress associated with school and extracurriculars, the counselors help you and are always involved in the student's lives to provide guidance. I personally have a strong relationship with my counselor and she is one of the most positive aspects of my high school experience by far. Overall, I believe that the stress, academics, and extracurriculars at Interlake High School are fairly balanced and support the students in preparing for their future.
