Just A Random Line Segment: Sato is academically rigorous, yet it’s a school of a bunch of goofballs. From the classes to the students, Sato is everything you could want in a high school. The campus is small, but the community is rad. Sato prepares you for the future while still letting you exist in the moment. In short, Sato is small but mighty. Ayyyy, Sato forever! :D

Jose Antonio Gutierrez: I brought an inflatable pencil to school once and they confiscated it as a weapon

James Mills: The best engineering and biomedical education in LBUSD! Lots if unique experiences for students, such as their aerospace program, competition teams and frequent field trips. Experienced staff with unique skill sets. Wouldn't want to go anywhere else!

Mona Merlo: This was the best experience for transportation of our students. Robert was a fabulous driver, knowledgeable and professional and the bus was prestige.

Drear: Very nice

Ameren R: in 9th grade. In 10th grade we offer principals of engineering which is basically a step up from intro to design. In 11th grade we offer aerospace engineering where we explore robot systems. In 12th grade we offer digital electronics where we explore digital circuits. For the Biomedical Pathway we have a course entitled Human Body Systems where freshman to labs to explore how all the body systems work together. A few other courses related to the biomedical pathway is medical interventions where students explore ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat disease. Also Anatomy and Physiology is a student favorite. Many pathway classes are geared by PLTW college courses and many of them do count for college credit starting in the 9th grade.One of the cons to Sato is that there are no sports so the school can get a little boring due to the lack of fun activities. There is a big variety of clubs at our school and I recommend Key Club, HOSA, Red Cross, RC Flight, and Firebeather Rocketry.Overall, Sato is an amazing school if you know you want a career in engineering and biomedical science. This school, will get you through college quicker and your studies will be easier. But, if you aren't prepared to forget what outside looks like because you're always doing homework, this school isn't for you. :

Guillermo Molina: The workload can be pretty heavy. Resources limited in some areas. Other than that it's a good school, still building itself up

Harley Rich: I love how small the school was because it allowed teachers to get more personal

Jennifer B. Perez: LOVE LOVE LOVE this school, its staff and all that it stands for. I'm so happy we made the decision to apply here three years ago. My son is now in 8th grade and its has been such a wonderful educational experience for him....even through Covid! I highly recommend this school to any parents considering it as a middle school option.

Bob Marsocci: My daughter is an 8th-grade student at IVA and my wife and I are very happy with the education she is receiving there. Everyone on the IVA staff -- from the principal to the teachers to the front-office staff -- cares deeply about providing the students with a well-rounded education centered on myriad virtues that will serve the students well after they graduate from middle school. We couldn't be happier with IVA and highly recommend the school.

Arifa Khursheed: , no big sports focus but I believe they have some teams, no music program. For our family, these drawbacks are minor compared to the benefits of this wonderful school.

Stephannie Reizuch: on a smaller level. That can be nice for kids who want to try them for the first time!I can’t say enough wonderful things about IVA. The school is small for a middle school and while that isn’t for every child... it’s been amazing for ours. The academics are challenging and they teach the kids to think deeply, critically, and from many perspectives. They value individuality, creative thinking, and respect the students voices and ideas. Pre-pandemic this school was everything i could hope for in a middle school... and they seamlessly transitioned to organized, meaningful at-home learning... and by that I mean they have provided predictable, engaging lessons, and a safe and meaningful connection to their school community while acknowledging regularly that while school and academics are important, the students’ health and well-being are their highest priority.Their staff and teachers are thoughtful and are always considering the whole student.I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend IVA to anyone looking for this type of school for their child.

Elsa Roman: First off, I would like to start off by praising the amazing staff that IVA has. I have had nothing but positive experiences. The teachers have a refreshing excitement for teaching.My daughter has been at IVA for 2 years now. I had the opportunity of volunteering in one of their classrooms last year before COVID hit. I was amazed. Their teaching style is so different. The students were allowed to present their answers and explain their thought process.IVA has taught my daughter how to think critically. How to find different solutions and new ideas. They hold their students accountable. I believe they give their students ALL of the tools that they need in order to succeed. The level of support at IVA is top notch.If you’re considering applying, please do not hesitate. I was a bit hesitant to not send my daughter to a conventional middle school, but I am beyond thankful that we were accepted into IVA.

Maria Benitz: , my middle son

Brenda Ho: IVA provides a unique learning environment that gave my children the skills needed for high school and college. The teachers and staff genuinely care about the mental health and well-being of their students. I was already impressed with IVA pre-pandemic 2020, but how they responded blew me away. They were extremely organized and knowledgeable at pivoting to distance learning. It is a small school that provides individual attention to each student.

Kimberly Gonzalez: This is the BEST middle school! The school is small so all the kids teachers and staff know one another really well. The staff and teachers take the time to talk to the students and know what works best for them and the way they learn. I have always felt welcome at this school, its a very laid back and open environment. The principal Mrs. Bryant is very approachable and will make time to speak to you. The PTA is helpful and puts on great events for the kids. Mr. Mikaele is a fantastic counselor and will be 100% in for your child and is available to talk and help at any time.

Karen Carmean-Mathieu: My daughter is a 6th grader at IVA this year. She has always loved school, but this year we have seen her come alive with her learning in such powerful ways! You know when you ask your kid, "How was school today?" and they grunt something like, "Good." Now, she is overflowing with excitement and elaboration about what she is learning about and the ways they are learning. She loves her teachers and frequently tells us how easy they are to talk to. To be honest, I was wary of taking this "different" path to middle school, but for our kid, it has been the absolute "right" choice. I encourage anyone who is in that difficult place of choosing middle school to check out this hidden gem. It's a beautiful place where an adolescent's WHOLE self is honored and supported in such beautiful ways.

Mat the Mat: This kid from this school seems weird
