While there has been some turmoil within the administration, Dr. Coffman has honed a positive culture that is focused on character building. For the most part this is holding steady after her departure, mostly due to a highly capable group of teachers who truly care about the kids. I'm hoping that Dr. Surian and the new administration will continue the momentum. Out of all the schools in the area, I've noticed that the ISU lab school system does the best job of preparing the kids for university and for life in general. As far as the lack of transparency and diversity in enrollment, by definition there would be no transparency in a lottery system which is touted as method. This lottery system also makes diversifying difficult since it is relies on only those who apply and for legal reasons they do the enquire about race in the application. I absolutely hope for more diversity in the student body in the future and encourage all to apply. There is no tuition since it is officially a public school.

No transparency, pseudo private education and it's not even test in. Just to be clear the only way to get in is to volunteer, have family, or fulfil some quota. They don't make the lottery system transparent and the school certainly is not representative of the area if serves ethnically.
