"I have two children who have attended ICHS and have had a stellar educational experience (one currently enrolled and one who has graduated and is currently excelling at a top-rated University. ICHS has an excellent teaching staff, a full honors program, and AP's in all the CORE subjects. In addition, the school has a program with Elmhurst College allowing students to take ACTUAL college courses for no additional tuition. That's better than an AP program. See what IC is about today versus taking an opinion from someone who indicates her son had a bad experience, several years ago (seems to me a long time to keep basing a school???). Keep in mind the school is celebrating 75 years of academic success, so they must be doing something right! The enrollment is around 350 and the neighborhood is beautiful."

"My child attended this school several years ago. It was the biggest mistake we made during his high school years. Luckily, we were able to enter him in the public school before it was too late He was not academically challenged at IC. He was an honor student, yet they were not able to offer enough honors classes or advanced placement classes to enable hin to get into a good university if he had stayed at IC. The student body and faculty only know students by their names, because there are only about 200 students in the whole school. I realy felt like the teachers did care about students. In our economic times, do not waste your money on this school. Public schools offer more advanced curriculums, challenging extracurricular activities, competitive sports programs, and teachers with years of experience and knowledge. Pease do not limit your child to this school. At least be an educated consumer and consider all of your options. It is in your child's best interest to research the educational opportunities that are available in your area, and this school is not worth your time or money. Thank you for allowing me to review this school as a concerned parent in the community."

"I couldnt disagree more with the parent below. My daughter graduated from ICHS last year and went into college with a FULL SEMESTER of college credits. She is currently attending one of the top 10 public universities in the country. FACT: IC offers AP classes in History, Biology, Chemistry, English, Calculus. In addiition, during your senior year of high school, you can take classes at Elmhurst COLLEGE during the school day or evening at no additional tuition via a partnership IC has with Elmhurst College. This is right across the park, literally a five minute walk at most. My daughter took AP Calc at IC and Calc BC (2) at Elmhurst College as well as intro to Western Civ at Elmhurst College. She was on the Dean's list at Elmhurst College during her senior year of high school. She took AP History and AP Calc at IC. ICHS more than prepares you for University and beyond. It is a FANTASTIC school with a caring and dedicated staff."

"I would not recommend this school. They do not prepare students for college, even though they claim that this is a college prep school. They only offer 3 AP classes, and their honor classes are not challenging. The environment is very exclusive, and the faculty and student body are not accepting of all students. This is very unfortunate, because diversity is very important in our culture. I highly recommend the public schools in the area as they offer challenging academic curriculums, AP classes (which you can use for college credit if you have a successful score), excellent sport programs, and wonderful music and arts classes. You will be an achiever and very successful, but please do not consider paying your hard earned dollars to a school that just doesn't care about all of its students. It is the money that they adore! Thank you for allowing me to post my recommendation."
