Izard County Consolidated High School Reviews
Rating 3.49 out of 5 35 reviews
It’s a decent school. However sports were the main concern and not academics. I had moved from Salem to ICC and what ICC was learning I had already gone over at my other school a few years before.
the students are nice to students when they are new to that school then they slowly go away from that new person the teacher a good they try to help the students when they are having trouble with something if the students need help on something and they are in a different class then the teacher will try to help help that student they are very different kind of teacher i ever had in any other school but if i ever have to move schools then i'm going to be mad and i know that if i need to reach out to any of the teacher they will help me throw it i know because it has happened the they alway give you time to do your work in there class but some teachers give you more then plenty of time to do your work and they try to do there best to let everybody past there class because they know what they can do the don't try to make it hard on and anybody because the teachers are that nice if they students have to have more time to do something they will give you extra time to do it to finish it.
Izard County has prepared me for college in ways that I would have never imagined if I were still at my previous school.
The Izard County school district is like one big family. You know everyone and everyone knows you. You nod and smile to people as they base in the hallways. You make conversation with everyone you’re in a room with. The teachers are kind, funny, and do such a great job helping and reaching out to the students. The administration is always constantly looking out for the students. They’re always finding ways to improve the lives of our students at school. The rest of the staff make sure the school stays clean, they make sure we’re fed, they make sure we have a good outlet to tell our feelings too. Izard County isn’t just a school district. It’s a family and a home.
The Teachers and Students here believe they're so high and mighty but the truth is they're not. How this school works is the teachers treat the students that play sports better than the students who don't play. Yeah I didn't drop out but instead I transfer to Melbourne. If I ever have kids I wouldn't send them to this school.
The community of the school is just overall great. It's a 1A school, so everyone knows everyone. And the music program is amazing. We won't have football until 2020, if I'm correct. But the cougar nation is just one big family.
Great school and great opportunities for students. School provides funds for all activities and academic needs. Great facilities. Great teachers and administration.
It is a great school. This school is very accepting of new students. The school has two ACT Prep classes just for its students each year and that has helped many students score higher on the ACT. Two senior s this year are Distinguished Governor's Scholars with ACT scores of 34 and 32. The school has the only Medical Professions program in the area. Good teachers and a safe environment for students.
I enjoy the science programs we have here. However, we should have a in class forgin language teacher and less racial discrimination.
The biggest focus is on bullying. There is almost no blatant bullying going on, and if there is, it is dealt with swiftly and without mercy.
The athletic department is the school's extracurricular activity that gets more attention of the administration than anything else.
While there were teachers that plainly couldn't care less about what they were teaching or their students, most of the teachers that I had put in much more work into their lessons and students than they needed to just to see the students succeed.
Most of the extracurricular activities were sports. There was barely any funding for extracurricular activities because of such a strong focus on the athletics, but the student body did the best they could with what they had.
I heard so many good things about ICC which is why I chose it over Melbourne's high school considering I had the choice. I was sorely disappointed. The only reason I gave ICC three stars is because I made wonderful friends and I had four teachers throughout the four years I was there that I actually could count on to help me and other students when needed. First and foremost, this school's problem is it's priorities. Sports were and probably always will be at the forefront of nearly everyone's mind there Which was my biggest issue. Teachers doubled as coaches. Basketball, baseball, volleyball, golf, etc. (surprisingly no football or soccer). One particular teacher comes to mind when talking about this, but I won't mention names; I'll just say that I've never, ever seen a worse teacher than that one. Honestly, I can't tell if it was because he was holding coach responsibilities or if he really was just a bad teacher. They spent god knows how much money on a completely new renovation on a gym and a jumbotron-like screen to display student achievements, though naturally it's primarily focused on sport-related ones (first Quizbowl team in a very long time to get fourth place at state and it was there for one single week). Field trips to educational venues were denied completely because the "budget" wouldn't allow it. Actual school days might as well have been cut short because so many students involved with athletics would be gone, leaving classrooms empty. I really could go on.
The second problem this school has, though my experience with it is significantly less, is it's organization. It's extremely jumbled and chaotic. I can't give examples without being specific, but the authority there in that school is not exactly methodical or coordinated.

Some of the teachers try their hardest, but don't have all of the resources they need. The administraors are WAY out of control, and really need someone from the state to shut them down and hire all new staff. Most of them are only working there because they are related to the superintendent.
There are a few teachers that give certain subjects a bad name. The Band, music, trades, arts are all AMAZING classes and you will actually lean something from actual GOOD teachers.
There are several clubs for students to attend, a lot only attend for the time out of school.
