In my first semester there since I came in late I didn’t get much say about classes, but they wouldn’t put me in any classes with my friend's NOW HANG ON. You might think “well they don’t want you goofing off!” Well. That didn’t turn out to great. I turned so socially awkward, I didn’t make any new friends. And DESTROYED any old ones because of how bad my anxiety got! And then next semester they ignored everything that happened, put me in the same lunch with my friends but damage had already been done, they made me go to see the school counselor (she didn’t help at all btw). But when they found a book of all mg thoughts? They made me come down, do a 20 questions ‘do you like being on this earth!’ Quiz and then scream at my mother to put me in a hospital. They don’t do anything for students who have mental health issues. They force them out of there comfort zones when they’re not ready making them want to hide even more. Force them to talk about things they don’t want to. And don’t care about actually helping! But the teachers are fine, even though some of them are weird and touch you with out permission (only happened to me with one teacher). And with the work they give, Students need more explanation and time doing a assignment. You can’t give a bad explanation and expect us to turn it in, in a week. And when faced against a boy looking in the girls locker room. You know what they did? Nothing! He was suspended for 2 days! Nothing else! And when he continued to harass girls. NOTHING! But when my own friend yells at a kid for saying slurs about LGBTQIA and black people. She gets sent to detention the rest of the day and yelled at.

Went here as a teen, started in 2018, I had a learning disability and severe depression and anxiety. I set a 504 plan in place and it was hardly followed. Reinstated it a few times and tried to change it and still had push back from the teachers and staff. Ultimately dropped out and moved to online schooling when I had a teacher not allow me to leave class while having a panic attack and berated me in front of the class. Despite trying to work with staff to accommodate, no issues were solved and nothing was taken as seriously as I needed it to be. Definitely not a one-off experience either as at the time several of my friends, many with more severe disabilities than I, were in the same position. A handful of the teachers I had were very helpful and encouraging or supportive but that was highly overshadowed for me as a teen by the negligence of the majority of my teachers and staff.

Innovations early college high school is very underrated in the state but it's very good. You can get help in anything whether it's emotional or academics. There are tutors who can help you in your assignments as well as your mentors, plus teachers and staff. They will help you achieve your academic goals, whether it's graduating early or not, taking college classes early etc. I really do recomend this school. You even have stufy periods where you can work individually. it's not like other high schools where you have 4 periods a day and 2 hours a class. They as well offer classes at the nearby high schools that innovations doesn't have. It's a very welcoming school and easy to make friends no one judges. And parents/guardians get updates on the students assignments and grades etc.
