My son has been attending for the last 2 years.Excellent academics, great communication from Administration, and teachers. My son has done nothing but soar in every way. He loves attending school and has made many friends. So thankful we made the change to private Christian education.

I've had a terrible experience at intercity from grades 5th-9th so here's an honest review from someone who is leaving the school. From being accused of things I didn't do, to teachers over 30 years older than me getting in my face violently. I have almost never been treated well by teachers throughout my time attending intercity, with an acceptation of a few people. I think this school is a terrible environment to send your kids to. they teach to be abounding in love and to respect others, which they don't do, I've seen students yelled at for doing nothing wrong, to students being made fun of because of believing a different way, when I say believing a different way I don't even mean "Christian kids" making fun of "non Christian kids" but for something as little as thinking that gay people should be treated with love as well (doesn't mean you have to support them). the student body isn't bad because there bad people, there bad because of the horrible leaders at the school. The education is great though... If you want to continue to be told you don't try throughout multiple of your classes even when there is a visible effort that you are trying. most teachers don't respect the students, I've had classes where my friends have to play double headers an hour bus ride away, don't get home till 10-11pm and have loads of homework due the next day, while I understand that this is high school, if you are going to make a student pay for sports it is not right for them to have to do a boat load of homework the night of an away game. The great fundraisers for your senior trip. you don't keep any of the money for the senior trip that you earn in elementary school, on top of that you really only get to keep a third of what you get for your fundraiser in high school. this school not only lacks love but also empathy and good character. All that these kids are being taught is that they are horrible people, not that they should just be loving others, being kind, working on being a better person, and going on with there day. I almost feel compelled to say that the reason the school is so small (and gets smaller classes the higher you go up in grades). is not because of the pricy tuition or because dress code, it is because so many kids become emotionally scared from this terrible place and want to leave. the only kids who go to this school are ones who want to leave it, or ones who's parents went there and think the school is the same as it was 20 years ago.

We had a very bad experience with this school. The curriculum is great, but that's it. Everything else was very disappointing.

We have been at I-C for the last 6 years with a wide range of grades. We even had one graduate last year. Finished with his first semester in college, he had felt more than prepared for college. We do not attend the church, however our children have always been treated well, and have never felt "left out". The teachers are highly dedicated in working with the parents to create a Christ- centered environment. They do lean a bit more on the sports side of life, but even in saying that, their music program is incredibly enriching for the students. I highly recommend this school for anyone looking for a godly, faithful school.

I attended I-C High School and am extremely grateful for the solid academic and spiritual foundation they provided for me. I highly recommend this school, its faculty, and its principal!

I attended IC for 10 years. Both my boys went there, my youngest graduates this year. The teachers have never turned away, they have always been extremely helpful. What I appreciate is that the administration is consistently evaluating what works. No school is going to be perfect. If you have a problem with following rules, then you will have a problem at any private school. If you want a great education and a school that seeks to honor God, this is a good school. They are also a very athletic orientated school.

I attended this school from 7th to 12th grade and received an excellent education. I was able to get a full scholarship to a local university for all four years and was actually bored my first two years in college due to a repeat in content of my classes. I was on the Deans list in college multiple times and excelled above my classmates due to the education I received at this high school. I would only stress that it is up to the student to put the work into their education. The school supports students well but the student has to do the work, accept accountability, and participate in their own education.

This is a school of Religion. Jesus came to abolish religion. ICB does not neglect doctrinal truth. They teach God's Word accurately, but expend great effort imposing "their" rules of conduct, and idealized appearance. Love lends itself to being conditional in this particular community. Being a member for 11 years, I am thankful for the great teachers I myself have had at IC, but if you are looking for a school with Counselors, Occupational Therapists, and other resources of that nature; Inter-City falls short.

I attended this school several years ago. As others have said, the focus was on Do's and Don'ts with no attention to Christ-like charity and kindess. Students were bullies, teachers and staff were mean and judgemental, especially if you or your parents didn't attend Inter-City Baptist Church. There were no student counselors of any sort, only fire and brimstone. This is the sort of place that creates either fanatics or atheists.
