It's so refreshing to see a racially and socioeconomically diverse urban school where academic excellence is the norm! If your child is invited to apply to this school, you should seriously consider it. It may not have all the bells and whistles of some of the other magnet schools, but the education the children receive is top-notch. Perhaps most important is the chance to be educated alongside their intellectual peers, in a place where being smart and loving to learn is not something to be embarrassed about.
Finally, a school that offers a truly dynamic and well rounded education to its students!! My daughter is thriving at this school. The advanced curriculum is right on par with her abilities. Additionally, the Spanish instruction, violin, and advanced art make for an education that sets this and other IPS schools apart. The teachers here rock!! They understand high ability learners and go that extra mile daily. I can not say enough about this school and about IPS. Really outstanding.
