The high school is simply terrible it has major problems with bullying but the teachers won't do a thing about it and all students are strictly monitered, the place is like a prison and kills creativity

Great academic opportunities! Many fine arts, atheletics, and clubs available. Known for their state champion debate team and state ranked cross country team. Nice school facilities and newly built football and baseball fields. New improvements are coming with the $1 million by the MLB's Casey Blake, and IHS alumn. Parents are actively involved in students' academic and extracurricular progress. The wonderful community adds to the pleasure of living in this fine town!!
