:''For other schools by this name, see Ithaca High School (disambiguation)'' Ithaca High School (IHS) is a public high school in Ithaca, New York. It is part of the Ithaca City School District, and has an enrollment of approximately 1,675. ==About== Ithaca High School has historically had a reputation for strong academics. While today the school faces various problems, many common to most high schools, by most objective measures Ithaca High School students still score well above state and national averages. The mean SAT score in 2003 was 1169, compared to 1026 nationally. Typically, about 70% of students matriculate at four-year colleges and 20% at two-year colleges following graduation. The school traditionally sends a very large number of graduates to nearby Cornell University; from 2000 to 2004, an average of 37.6 students per class (slightly less than ten percent) matriculated at Cornell immediately following graduation.〔(IHS Admission Decisions by Decile, 2000-2004 ), Ithaca High School Guidance Office. A total of 188 students from the classes of 2000 through 2004 were offered immediate acceptance at Cornell.〕 Nineteen advanced placement courses are offered:〔http://www.icsd.k12.ny.us/legacy/highschool/studserv/08-09%20Program%20Studies.doc〕 *Biology *Chemistry *Environmental Science *Physics (B & C) *Calculus (AB & BC) *Statistics *Computer Science AB (to be downgraded to A when College Board cuts AB) *English Language *English Literature *Spanish Language *French Language *German Language *Latin: Vergil *Human Geography *Psychology *U.S. History *World History *Studio Art *Art History *Music Theory There are 140 professional staff members, including about 120 classroom teachers, and over 85% of the faculty has a master's degree or higher. Two Ithaca High School math teachers received the prestigious Edyth May Sliffe Award, given annually to about 25 math teachers nationally: Dave Bock (twice, in 1990〔(1990 Edyth May Sliffe Awards for High School )〕 and 1993〔(1993 Edyth May Sliffe Awards for High School )〕), and Roselyn Teukolsky (in 1991).〔(1991 Edyth May Sliffe Awards for High School )〕 Ithaca High School is located at 1401 North Cayuga Street in the north end of Ithaca, near Stewart Park, Cayuga Lake, and Ithaca Falls. Designed by the architecture firm Perkins and Will, it is a California-style campus, with 11 mostly-interconnected buildings spread across a fairly wide area. Some have praised the campus as being architecturally innovative, while others have criticized it as inefficient and inappropriate to Ithaca's climate (notably as students routinely travel outdoors between classes, out of necessity or for a more direct route). The campus includes the Frank R. Bliss Gymnasium, the 840-seat Claude L. Kulp Auditorium, and York Lecture Hall. Most of the Ithaca City School District's administrative offices and the Board of Education building are located on the same campus, as are the offices of the ICSD employee unions. Currently, additions are in progress that will double the size of Kulp Auditorium, adding separate rehearsal, practice, and office spaces for the orchestra, choir, and band, as well as create a large fitness center and competition gymnasium (). The building is one of the few schools that use deep lake water cooling (from Cayuga Lake) for air conditioning. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ithaca High School (Ithaca, New York)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
