The school is terrible I see kids getting bullied all the time, Also the kids are no hope, no future. My son kaihan has been bullied by a kid named jaquavious and i am very upset. My son also keeps complaining saying that the food there is terrible and he wants to move schools. To my perspective this school is terrible as I went in and I saw kids fighting and its like a arena in there kids harassing others even though they didn't do anything and also kids are so distracted on there phones and outside theres this one kid and he screams all the time and the teachers don't do anything about also I could understand why this school has such a low rating. Don't go to this school only if u want ur child well educated.

I wrote the last review of the IB Programme (see below) yet have had many negative experiences since then. The scholars math for sophomores has been deleted. Last year my daughter was put into a class with no teacher. She was then transferred into a class with a teacher that only showed up once a week as he was the coach of the golf team. This year my daughter had no chemistry teacher for the entire first semester. Lesson plans were emailed in from the previous teacher and a counselor with no chemistry experience showed up twice a week to check in on the class. The new chemistry teacher introduced himself by saying that he never wanted to teach the class and that he was forced to take the position. He elaborated by saying that he did not have the knowledge to teach the class and that he would be learning right along with the students. My daughter and I spoke at length with the principal about a transfer to another class as a fellow student had just transferred. We were told that school policy was that no students are allowed to transfer unless there are extraordinary circumstances. After admitting to several falsehoods that principal refused say what would constitute an extraordinary circumstance. As a result my daughter will not be taking senior chemistry and her interesting chemistry has been extinguished. This is my second child going through the IB programme at Inderkum and the IB exam subject pass rates for this school are abysmal. Although there are good parts of the program much of it is an IB programme in name only. If you are looking for an IB experience for your child I strongly encourage you to look elsewhere. Other schools like Mira Loma have much better programs and the AP classes at other schools are likely superior to Inderkum IB. While two of my children will have been through Inderkum IB, my younger two children will certainly be going elsewhere.

As a parent of an autistic child, I had concerns about this school environment from the beginning, particularly regarding structure, support, student behavior, and how students with disabilities are treated socially and emotionally.Recently, my son reported repeated teasing from another student involving comments about him being autistic. He also shared that he informed staff previously and felt the issue was not addressed. After a separate recess incident involving another student and a basketball being thrown hard enough to hurt him, I felt it was important to advocate more strongly for his safety and emotional well-being.I understand no school is perfect and children can have conflicts anywhere, but as a parent, I did not feel confident that this environment was the best fit for my child’s needs. My experience left me concerned about supervision, social-emotional support, and responsiveness to bullying concerns involving students with disabilities.Every child deserves to feel safe, respected, supported, and protected at school. For families considering this school, especially families with children who have IEPs, autism, or sensory/social support needs, I strongly encourage asking detailed questions about how disability-related teasing, bullying concerns, and student support are handled on campus.Ultimately, I decided to pursue a different educational environment that I believe will provide more structure, support, and accountability for my son.
