All promises and no action! We were told that parents need to be involved in order for our children to succeed, well that meant, call for every detail. Their programs and coordination is the worst. Public schools have better systems then this school.

Be prepared to call for everything if you really want to be involved in your children's curriculum. Oh, and good luck getting a call back. I have left messages since two years now, and have yet to receive a call back.

Interaction between parents and school is the worst, and their staff is no help. They don't know anything, and act like they do. Everything is left to the last minute, and expect for our children to succeed and for them to follow up on their own.

Their focus is not on the children at all! If I would've known I would have NEVER enrolled my children here. Definitely looking into other institutions that are really concerned and focus on the future and success of children!

This is a horrible school. Understaffed. Unorganized. And they have a "protocol " system they supposedly use to help students when the students show they need help. Homework and class work is ALWAYS being misplaced and the teachers settle with no questions as to what or why... it's a mission to get in contact by phone with anyone. And getting a response by email is like pulling teeth. Unfortunately my 8th grader is set to attend this hs this fall as a freshman. He has an IEP plan and as a parent I fear he will not have the help he requires. This school does not live up to their mission in these childrens lives. Its unfortunate. NOT RECOMMENDED!

One uniform sweater is $56!!! Yes, ONE uniform sweater is $56!! This school is known for health sciences but they offer CNA classes. NOT nursing classes!! CNAs have the worst responsibilities with the worst pay!! Why are they even promoting this?

terrible school.this school sets its expectations too high for students while at the same time delivering nothing in return.while being one of the most well founded high schools in the district and yet failing to give its students good quality lunches or new furniture that the children badly need.The teachers could not care less about teaching its students proper life lessons and instead feeding them lies and babysitting them.This school claims to introduce young adults to healthcare field but instead play favorites when it comes to gpa putting those students first and not allowing others to explore different career paths.I seriously doubt this school will last long considering the way they are running things.as the years progress,the bar for this school and the amount of good caliber students will continue to decrease due to the fake environment this school breeds and the lack of teaching this school provides.

If you honestly want your children to grow and have a great future this is not a good school to put them in.I can definitely say this as an alumni of this school.it is nothing but a racket to take parents money and indoctrinate them into their cultural marxist beliefs.

This school is a joke they lost my nephews phone after they took it from him for being late and dont wanna pay for it what kind of message you sending kids ? Ive been arguing back and foward since september 2017 about this and they say they are gonna pay then I call an they put me on whole and never answer again even the principle is playing does game I wouldnt have expexcted that from someone in her position very disappointed and honestly feel bad for the type of leadership that the kids in that school have because really there isnt any they treat kids worst then prison. Gotta say who ever came up with that stupid ass system of just throwing everyones phone in to a drawer without properly labelling the phone for identification purposes and then letting kids pick which ever phone "they say is there's " should be fired for being a retard.

My kids have been in INSTITUTO for 3 years and they love it the counselors and staff are very polite and helpful..... counselors are available for students and parents for any question that you might have at all times. This to me is a big plus....
