Towards the end of 8th grade, I was to choose my classes for my freshman year.
In the beginning, I found it interesting and fun because of my teacher, but as time passed, I started to find the class very tough to understand. In order to get the help I needed, I started meeting my teacher before school to clear all my questions and confusion. Even though my teacher was very helpful, I was still struggling in class. With the guidance of my teacher, I survived Statistics my entire sophomore year. During my junior year, I decided to take Physics. I wanted to attempt a challenging science class rather than the basic science classes. I found the class very arduous as it was online due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In addition to that, my teacher did not instruct well enough. When solving practice problems, she would just straight go to the final answer without explaining the steps in between. I would seek her help, both before and after school, but her explanations were not helpful.

Overall it was a pretty good experience. Throughout my 3 and half years I learnt that students and teachers are very well connected. There were also few things that school can improve such as food, having more clubs such as music, cooking etc.
IHSHS was an amazing high school. The constant support from the teachers was extremely helpful. Always encouraging and willing to explain any material when there was any sort of confusion. Also, the extracurricular activities provided gave opportunity for growth , not only in a more free/creative sense but also, social. These activities gave us the opportunity to work with our peers better and understand each other in a different manner. I loved attending this high school. Also because they introduced what college was and it’s system since the 9th grade so by the time we were going to graduate , we all were familiar. They also had a college preparation dedicated class that supported us through all of the applications and any questions or concerns.
The teachers are so helpful and encourages their students always. They always tries their best to help their student to do better. They always encourage the students to share their opinion without hesitation
It’s a good school, they teach very well and are very attentive in teaching English to all, they treat their students well and at the same time are strict in trying to make sure students understand and can do everything well.
I've been at IHSHS since 9th grade. I arrived with a low English level but through the years not only did I learned the language but also grew a passion for it. I'm a Senior and I can assure that there isn't a better school when it comes to being diverse and getting a feeling of home.
This school has a variety of culture. Students collaborate with each others, and there's a big support from the teachers. The only thing that I will like to see a change is in sports and clubs.
I love this school. It’s located in Corona, Queens it shared the 3 & 4 floor of Newtown high school. I’m a senior now but i was enrolled in that school in my sophomore year, the teachers are great and they help you out with whatever you need help.
There are huge variety of diverse cultures, languages and traditions since most of the students came from all around the world. As a student in IHSHS, I had the opportunity to interact with these cultures and learned to speak many languages. I understood other feelings and their story as my own since it was connected. We were brothers and sisters from different parents.
we have to share a school nurse with another school in the building. All students need a school id every morning. I feel safe at this school. No security problems has happened so far.
So far this school had introduced me to many great opportunities in the health science field. For example we attend conferences with scientist and medical workers.
The teachers attend school early in the mornings and stay late afterschool to provide the students with help. Thy are very knowledgeable and they are also very patient with students. They understand the level each student are at and provide them with the work that they can understand and that also challenges them.
