IHM has good academics, but sometimes doesn't follow through. My teacher threatens me and all the other classmates detention if we don't listen. Yes, I know our class is bad, but not everybody. I think IHM needs to be more positive and helpful.

I am very disappointed with IHM. We have been there since kindergarten and it's true that there are cliques in the school.
