Since the school has been taken over by RSD and Mr. Webb has become the principal, the school seems to have been turned around greatly. Mr. Webb fosters an academically-focused environment among his staff and students and discipline is very well-maintained. Great school. Highly recommend it as a choice for those looking for a good public school in Baton Rouge.

Its amazing how people from awhile ago remember great things about this schools. What was is no longer the case, and this schools is not meeting the needs of the students. Administration is poor. Teachers are tenured and expect little from students. Wishful thinking will not help this school. This schools scores reflect this inadequacies. I feel this school needs to be closed.

I graduated in the class of 1972. Looking back on high school I recognized the positive impact of many of my teachers. Being called a "greaser" was the least of the issues and in fact set us apart from other schools. I had a Baker football coach who used to tell us how much he hated Istrouma. Then I moved there and followed the footsteps of my dad and his sisters...IHS...thank you for the memories.
