iSchool High at University Park Reviews

My experience at iSchool High at University Park is better than most schools I've been to. Academic-wise it is great for students who enjoy doing the majority of the coursework online and it is self-taught while the teachers are there as added assistance. The teachers themselves are wonderful people they care about their students and actually want us students to graduate. The school itself and how safe it is, is above average than most schools I've been to, and keep in mind I have been to four schools. Furthermore, the lavatories are top-notch and provide all necessities, and the school is protected by on-campus officers. I felt safe all my four years at this school and not once was there an accident that made me waver about my well-being at the school. I do not consider myself exceptional in my studies but the academic course offered at this school helped me learn not just the course itself but how to learn and strive to do better academically and also as a person.
ISchool High at University Park is a self-paced college readiness school. The high school classes you take are done through online lessons. The teacher is mainly there for questions, and so they can make sure you learned the content. After your freshman year, the amount of high school level classes you take is minimal. Because you can graduate high school with an associate degree here, you start taking a majority of dual credit classes. What I really enjoy about this school is that the dual credit classes you take are on the Lone Star University Park Classes. So, you take your college classes with actual professors and college students. The actual high school though, I enjoyed very much. Since it’s a smaller school, everybody knows each other, and there’s a minimal amount of conflict. It’s a very nice and friendly environment. One thing I would change, is the involvement of the teachers. I believe students would be more successful if the teachers took initiative to help them learn.
I had the best experience at Ischool High. What I loved the most besides the teachers and staff is the fact that we can take college classes and not have to pay for them. The school is self paced, so not everyone can be in a school like this but for those who can, this is the school for you.
The staff members were consistently warm and encouraging, providing me with the necessary assistance whenever needed. Thanks to their guidance, I am now tackling my future with an associate's degree. I am enormously grateful for the opportunities that were afforded to me. Still, as a high school student attending college classes, it can be intimidating to interact with individuals who are significantly older than me. This was particularly challenging for me, having been homeschooled previously. Additionally, the coursework can be quite demanding.

The best part of the ischool experience is how fast you can finish your high school classes and the number of classes you can take through Lone Star College. I would definitely like the see the level and verity of clubs increase at the school.
honestly such a good school that allows you to take dual credit and allows you to graduate highschool and get your associates degree FOR FREE !!! & the learning environment is amazing
One of the best things about iSchoolHigh is the teacher and student relationships. It’s a small school, only 100 students are allowed for each graduating class, so it’s easier to create meaningful relationships with the teachers and fellow students. In addition, you’re allowed to experience what it’s like to be a college student all while being a high school student simultaneously. You get the freedom to pick your classes, freedom to network with your professors, and freedom to get graduate with an associate degree of your choice (either science or arts). However, I would say the downside of attending iSchoolHigh is missing out the high school experience. They don’t provide sports nor do they have pep rallies. Their after school hours are somewhat limited too (thirty minutes maximum). That being said, one of the things I would like to see iSchool change is their school hours. I don’t mind staying after school longer or come to school earlier for the extracurricular activities.
I love my High School, they employ wonderful staff and I love the opportunity to receive my Associates degree for free! They make the process of taking college classes at an early age easy and seamless and are always there to help! I would recommend iSchool High at University Park to anybody. I have even have a couple of friends attend after I suggested it to them! It really is a great opportunity!
I loved going here very much. I have been here for almost four years now, and I have enjoyed every single class I have taken here. I took both hybrid, in-person, and online classes! Each professor I have taken was all very helpful, attentive, and very professional. I am graduating with my Associate's Degree soon and I am 100% sure I would have not done it if it wasn't for my professors.
Be careful of this school. Even though you aren't getting dual credit you might not get 'credit' by the state of Texas if you decide the Virtual Model isn't for you and transfer out. Time wasted and now my student has to MAKEUP the time even though finished with A's and B's. Virtual environment with a teacher who just answers questions - no teaching involved only answers questions. WASTE of TIME
My experience at iSchool High UP was probably one of the best school experiences I've had in a while.
iSchool UP is dual credit school located on the Lone Star Univerity Park campus. Lone Star is a college, so as such, our work is done in a college environment. They also teach you how to behave, and pace yourself in said college environment.
Don't come looking for sports though. There are no sports teams at iSchool UP. you do have access to the college gym any time that isn't school hours. There is also a college 3d printing lab that we have access to after school. The facilities here have much to offer.
Finally, bring your own food. aside from the occasional fridays where they sell Chick-fil-A for 5 bucks, their are barely anyways to get food.
Overall, it's a great experience and I think more people should enroll to it.

Ischool High is a great school of opportunity and chances to start on your future. In my 2 years here, I have met many people and have come to make relationships that I will forever remember. Having a smaller community school has both its ups and downs, but overall everyone is basically family. You can create closer relationships with the teachers and your peers because of the close knit administration and the friendly environment. The chance to take dual credit classes to help myself, my parents, and my future were the main factors of why this school is special and why I decided to attend. Taking the chance to have a feel for college life and prompting myself to take the next step forward are some of the life lessons that I have learned here.
This is an early college high school. They encourage independence with responsibility - we do the majority of the coursework by ourselves and the teachers are there as a tool for us to use if we get stuck.
This school is all at your own pace, great for students who are looking for a little more academic independence. There’s very few students which allows for better student-teacher relationships.
I love the fact that the curriculum is self-paced. I can complete assignments and required areas of study as long as I meet the deadline. My classes are small which allows my teacher ampule to focus on intentional instruction with all students.
iSchool has a very different academic environment than regular public high schools. It is almost entirely independent and leaves a lot of room for the students to decide how they want to do their work. It's provided me with freedom to learn how is best for me.
