International Leadership Charter School Reviews
Rating 3.08 out of 5 104 reviews
Great teachers and staff, however, has many questionable rules that could be changed or removed without any effect on student's or teachers.
International leadership charter high school is a gem in the Bronx. As a parent safety is along with academic are my priorities when choosing a school, in that order I may add; and in my opinion there is no other safest school in the Bronx. Academic is also outstanding at ILCHS. I am a proud mom of her daughter that graduated from ILCHS in 2017, and is almost graduating as a nurse.
My overall experience with ILCHS was fairly horrendous; I would not recommend the school to any local family, even if they were in financial hardship. The cafeteria food was horrible, often turning out to be subpar, soggy, unhealthy, and/or even expired. During my four years, the administration had issues with teacher retention and placement, usually finding whoever they could to fill positions. At one point, an experienced dancer was pulled in to teach Chemistry, as well as Spanish. Better teachers usually could not cope with the administration or students and suffered under stress.
Textbooks were even fairly outdated. Students became used to mediocrity, not excellence. School clubs and extracurricular activities were nonexistent, the only option being an eventually mandatory Taekwondo class. All in all, International Leadership Charter High School is a limiting institution that cannot be trusted with the potential of the next generation.

There is an incredibly high turnover rate with the teachers. This year alone there have been 3 different freshmen Global History teachers. Poor management trickles down all the way from the staff to the students; this leads to a bad overall school environment. The school does not value student creativity; instead of lifting their students up and encouraging them to not only be creative but to be themselves , they outright shun students who do. There are no clubs, AP classes, physical education,art, or sports offered. Don’t let the School’s “high academic performance” fool you; they don’t allow students who fail “mock regents” sit for the actual regents at the end of the school to ensure their continuous high performance.
The structure of this school was very stressful. It was an overly controlled school. Though, I can say that students are pushed to achieve good grades and graduate in 4 years
I feel like this school is good in terms of college readiness but in terms of activities and teacher-student communication, it is poor.
I had an average experience with my education in International Leadership. The school and faculty have a lot of issues with keeping teachers and staff around. The CEO of the school has a tendency of firing teachers and staff and that really caused a disruption on students. I had to get accustomed to the change of multiple teachers every year and I often found that had an effect on my grades. I do feel like this school prepared me for the SAT and college prep. Although I did not end up taking the SAT, we had multiple classes dedicated to preparation for it. However, I did not have a regular high school experience at International Leadership because the school lacks extra curricular activities, sports, clubs and overall school participation with students. There were no AP classes but the school does give you the opportunity to take college credit classes at Lehman College. Overall, the school is not terrible but there are many things that need to be worked on.
This school has a very positive environment over the course of my four years I have made great connections with my fellow classmates and teachers. The teachers can be interactive with one another and help each other. During my four years this was the right place for me.
The school is small in size has very lovely staff buy the hours are too much , the lunch is questionable and it should provide the students with more fun actives.
What I liked about the school was the academics. What I would like to see a change in is that the school needs to add extra curricular activities and a change to how the school is ran.
I couldn't be any happier attending International Leadership Charter School. The way it positively affected my GPA and my academics was a huge success. My GPA as a senior is 97.8. The teachers and staff are always available to help out .
I currently attend International Leadership Charter School and this school is academically very good but doesn't have many clubs or activities. Overall this school really care about their students success and academics.
International Leadership Charter High School was a school that was filled with its ups and downs. I made my memories that I will hold close to my heart. The academic system could use some work, but with the right mindset and the right teachers, it could become a great school.
My experience with International Leadership Charter School was average. In comparison to other schools, there's no other like this. This school is very clean and I feel safe every time I walk into the building. Things that the school can improve on are things such as physical activity, class hours, and space.
What I loved about this school is the importance of college to them. I left that school being fully prepared for college and the transition was easy.
International leadership high school it’s a really great school because all the classes are academic classes. That will help you finish future careers. I highly recommend the school for you are you lived ones to attend.
I would recommend this school to other incoming freshmen because I have learned so much from other teachers. The teachers are so kind to the students as well.
