Overall, I had a above average experience at Ionia High Scholl throughout the last four years. Most teachers are very helpful and are willing to use their personal time outside of class to help. There is a fair number of AP and Honors courses available, but I wish there would be a few more AP courses such as Chemistry and Physics. There is a lot of opportunities to get involved through sports and other extracurricular activities. Administration instills a good no-nonsense type of attitude that benefits the school. The one thing I believe Ionia High School is lacking, however, is school spirit. I feel like a lot of students are proud to attend this school and attendance at sporting events is often quite low, even in rivalry games.
This school may not be perfect, have a ton of funding, or be conflict free but what it does have is something that I could not have found anywhere else. I have bonded with several teachers that are concerned with their students instead of their paycheck. There are many groups to be involved in such as band, forensics, or debate, and of course athletics! Most importantly Ionia High School is where I found myself and where I discovered who I want to be and what I want to do in this world; and that is what really makes it the best.
Academics are average, with the main intent of getting higher test scores. Diversity is horribly whitewashed, college advising is strongly encouraged and pushed onto students. Administration is new this year (2016-17) and going through some growing pains. Teaching staff is great, engaged with the kids they're teaching. Facilities are exceptional- minus not having a theater for arts performances/assemblies.
