International Studies Charter High School

I must say that it is sad that parents judge the school for the size of the halls and that the classes are tiny unlike other overcrowded schools, what a privilege! They should concentrate their critical efforts to enumerate the leadership from its principal and staff, the academics, accomplishments, national recognitions and so many other merits ISCHS has so far been able to achieve. The teachers are very qualified, dedicated individuals solely compromised to raising the bar for each student and very concerned for the future of the student body. My son graduated from ISCHS, when he attended the school, we were taking a risk and if I have to do it again, I would not hesitate it a bit. He went to the Honors College at MDC and now he is at UF. The great memories will last a lifetime, the education he received priceless.

One word: deplorable This school is by far the most deplorable one throughout Florida... Not spending good time time, school is tiny, hallways are narrow, classes are so small. Most of the professors are not qualified to teach their class... Avoid ISCHS.

I'm super happy with the school, keep students aware of their responsibility as exemplary students, maintaining a level of excellence. The principal is very good he is aware of your students in general, without neglecting any detail, developed further activities to keep children motivated to supporting them in their sports and all they do. .

My child currently attends this school and I am extremely happy with it. My child comes home happy everyday and he loves his teachers and classmates. I truely believe this is an excellent school for anyone who is looking for a small, private school like environment.

For it's personalized attention to each student, for their languages specialization and for its diversity.

My child is a student @ ISCHS. I don't like the school at all. This is her first time at this school and I am very dissapointed. She comes from a private schools and next year she is going back to her old school. I made a bad choice sending my daughter to this school and the secretary is not professional at all

I have had the oportunity to compare ISCHS with another schools not only in the area but in the district. I am very happy with this school. My daugther is happy, too. Most importantly, she is learning about other cultures from her classmates.

I would rate this school as OK but not great academically. The good points are the small class size & the small size of the overall school. The language courses are also very good & allow for students to go to college in Europe. The negatives are thre lack of electives, extracurricular activities & the organization in the office. The website is seldom updated & the school secretary can come across as rude. I think the administration is honestly trying. I do not know if adding a middle school is such a great idea before the have the high school totally organized.

This school year was my child's first year in a public school. I was a bit apprehensive about sending her to public school, but International Studies far exceeded my expectations. The classes were small, most of the teachers were outstanding, and my child is very happy at the school. I would recommend it for anyone who is seeking a private school environment.
