This school is awesome. The kids get classroom education along with the benefit of outdoor learning. The teachers go above and beyond to help the kids succeed and feel welcome. Very thankful for Ivy and the staff. read more

Ivy middle school is the worst middle school my daughter started there in sixth grade and at first we really loved it but the beginning of seventh grade. My daughter got wrote up for laying her head down because she didn't feel good and the teacher didn't even ask what was wrong with her a week later she was diagnosed with cancer and we found that out and we are very upset about it. She ended up being homebound due to chemo, and the teachers did not even do any work with her. They would just call and talk to her and then hang up also when she returned back to school a year later, they didn't want to hold her back and put her through seventh grade even though she did no work the prior you're going through chemo so she didn't know any of the seventh grade stuff and they still passed her along to eighth grade and then she was struggling because of that she was also getting bullied and picked on and the teachers or the staff would not do anything about it also found out that she was supposed to be attending her IEP and she wasn't by law and they did not keep up with her IEP properly. We found that out once she moved to a different school I would not recommend the middle school or high school for your kids. I would give the school a zero if I could. read more

Students are completely unprepared for college. No math above algebra 2 for most. Very limited amount of classes, "no fail policy" so no matter how little someone does they'll still be able to graduate because Markum is far too worried about her reputation than the quality of education. Students spend a ridiculous amount of time goofing off outside instead of doing actual work. Basically no sporting, art, or musical opportunities, lessening the already small chance your child will get a scholarship anywhere. Most of their graduates have gone on to do very little besides community college, with very limited exceptions. This senior class was denied a prom out of pure spite before covid 19 was even an outbreak in China. Discipline is just about non existent, there have been actual shooter threats and a 19 year old beat up a middle schooler to the point he was apprehended by police and they were all welcome back. Incredibly incredibly poor quality of education, people who graduated from there often don't even know proper grammar rules like "an" in front of vowels, or what's the right "your" or "their" to use. Most of the teacher's aren't necessarily awful, admin just won't let them preform their job to the fullest due to the fact no one can fail so everything is incredibly dumbed down or even falsified. If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. Worst school experience ever. Hated every second of high school. read more
