We are a founding family and I regret having my son attend this campus. The mission statement and values Idea presents are noteworthy and may be provided at other campuses but not at Ingram Hills.
From teachers who have no professionalism, subpar even raw food, administration that is on constant rotation and only cares about state exams all contribute to how awful this school is. My son has a speech impediment however, I was told it's not an issue for him or his school work. Yet when I took him to a speech therapist i found how much work he needs and how he doesn't speak up at school due to this. The school provides no special education or support to parents for children who need it. If you are able to obtain a number for a teacher you will never be able to get a hold of them. Communication is dismissal and parents are kept in the dark about important things at school. Academy which is elementary is far better than College Prep which is middle and high school. My son has two classes to improve the campus' state testing stats but nothing to help scholars learn. There are no classes to broadened his horizon like science, art or history. There are no electives and he rarely has any physical education or time outside. This campus is heavy on increasing the enrollment however, do not have qualified teachers to fill the amount of scholars they bring in. For two semesters my son didn't have permanent teachers and had no grades for Math and Reading due to this. Teachers will witness bullying yet will do nothing unless you call them out and escalate the issue tremendously. They make excuses for bad behavior and bullying and even victim blame to thwart responsibility. There's new administration but unless you make enough noise they will never reach out or be proactive about your children's education. I have my Bachelor's and Master's Degrees so higher education is not foreign to me. I didnt need Idea to help my son get to and through college. I wanted him to have a safe and great educational experience. However, with the experience of what we have gone through over these 7 years attending this campus is my only regret.
