I have found the teachers to be absolutely receptive. My daughter has excelled at Inderkum, having come from a Charter school environment we were at first, worried. The science programs and leadership have been excellent. I don't know what the review 'submitted by a teacher' 9/8/08 could be slamming

Yes, a diverse school and one that we feel has broadened our horizons. We could have stayed with Charter schools, but I think this has been a better 'life experience' for my daughter. Read less

I agree with one of the other parent's assessment of the administration. They never return your phone calls. We finally have to appear on locations just to have a conversation. Email messages left on power school are generally not responded to, I have to follow-up with a phone call. The school environment

My son attends Inderkum and I have been pleased. He has been on the principals list every year that he has attended, he has received many awards as well. But the key is that he has a full understanding that high school has a purpose....to get into college. Sure there are mice...there are mice in all

I love that the school is diverse and my son has had no problems with fighting, arguing, etc.. I am moving back to the Bay Area but if I were staying, I would send my other two children to Inderkum without a problem. Mrs. King is a jewel! Read less

As it is with most things, the majority of reviewers are passionate about the school in one direction or the other. The truth lies somewhere in the middle. Is the school perfect? Of course not. Neither is it the rat hole that some make it out to be. It is a modern inner city school with all the

What racial problems we have are mostly within ethnicities, not between them. We have a yo0ung administrative team who are doing a better job each day, and a young impatient staff who wants all the problems cured immediately. Patience is a virtue that we all need to practice, and Inderkum will assume its place with the best high schools in the city Read less

I graduated from Inderkum in 2007, and I have to say that it is a great school. Parents who say that teacher's do not help, that is entirely untrue. If students look for teachers help they will help you. They always ask for questions during class and are there after school and during prep periods. I
... Read more am glad I attended this school, I learned so much and have had such impressive jobs that I would never have dreamed of having, and it is because of the great education that they gave. Right now College is so easy, and I owe it all to this school. The real people to blame if things do not go well is the school district, these teacher's do with what they have and also the level of dedication that students have to learn. Read less

Excellent school with excellent administration, staff and teachers! The building itself is 'green' with environmental appreciation and high standards. The students are inclusive in community and focus on academics, honors, athletics, performing arts, science, math, college / technical prepatory and
