One of the smartest schools in Chicago. Students come from all places in Chicago just to come here. The best College Prep school out there. Known for academics, less about sports, but really who cares about sports?

Academics > Football team, actually truth be told, our football team is probably one of the worst in the nation.
Student #1 from SICP: Did we win in football today?

Student #2 from SICP: Yes!
Student #1 from SICP: Really? I don't believe that St. Ignatius College Prep could pull it off! That usually never HAPPENS!

Although there is an SICP in California, the "sicker" one is in Chicago, Illinois.

Sure, the students have a strict dress code, and could tell other Ignatians from a mile away just by what they're wearing, but that doesn't mean they're awful/cultish people. Do not mistake all Ignatians for dumb kids who get all of their cash from their parents. Sure, some are like that, but many get jobs over the summer to save money for their college funds, to buy Kanye West T-shirts and matching sunglasses, or to buy tickets to Lollapalooza; a weekend concert which takes place every year in the first week of August.
These kids are hard workers, and on top of that, have a good fashion sense.
(well, a lot of them do.)

HINT: you can tell an ignatian from others if they've visited/heard of at least 20 different neighborhoods in Chicago.
StudentFromOtherSchoolOnTrain (either at Lasalle, Union, or Ogilvie): who are they?
Student 2: let's see here... Birkenstocks, northface, more presentable than the average person... they must be an Ignatian.
StudentFromOtherSchoolOnTrain: an Ignatian?
Student 2: yes. a person who comes from St. Ignatius College Prep.

A high school lying on the outskirts of downtown Chicago. Though students typically travel in from affluent suburbs, they like to think going to Ignatius gives them "street-cred" and makes them "city-smart," which it most certainly does not. While these sheltered students try to shed the soft, pampered reputation they have received, the fact remains that there are chandeliers in the cafeteria and the buildings are nicer than many on collegiate campuses.

Try as they might, no Ignatius athletic teams seem to be able to have consistent success. Though their parents always by their children top-of-the-line equipment, athleticism is rare and has lead to Ignatius' reputation as a"guaranteed win." This is evident in the annual Fenwick/Ignatius football game where Ignatius will usually lose by a deficit of at least 35 points. Even as Ignatius boasts itself as an "academic powerhouse," their Math and Science teams consistently prove inferior to other prep schools, including bitter rival Fenwick, who also outshines them on standardized test scores.

Known for having below average-looking women, the social scene is also lacking. A typical weekend for any Ignatius student usually consists of stealing Bacardi Razz or Malibu Rum from one's parents and sneaking it into a party in a water bottle. After each consuming the equivalent of two or three shots, students generally become intoxicated and resort to bizarre homoerotic behavior including, but not limited to: applying body glitter, dancing to Jonas Brothers, wearing black leather, watching reruns of Ellen, etc. This metrosexuality is also also exemplified by the clothing worn by students, including brands such as American Eagle, Abercrombie, Hollister, etc. Many Ignatius boys like using hair gel to mold a faux-hawk or spend 20 minutes on creating that "just-rolled-out-of-bed look." Pooka shells, Kanye West sunglasses, Birkenstocks, stud earrings, destroyed/paint-stained jeans, designer graphic tees, and many other types of extremely lame clothing are staples in the daily Ignatius outfit.

Yes, while the douchebags of Ignatius sit smugly in their ivory towers, the rest of Chicagoland, and the country, has a laugh at their expense.
Mother: Where should our son go, St. Ignatius College Prep or the prestigious Fenwick High School?

Father: All those dumbasses at Ignatius are queens that suck at sports, I'm not sending my son to school with those cocksuckers.

A school in the heart of Chicago that prides itself on it's high standards when it comes to acceptance. Disregard that most of the families of the kids that go there are huge donors to the school and have a ton of legacy there, so that even if they get a fifty on the entrance exam there's no way they can't be accepted. Often regarded a "party school" it's wonderful if you're interested solely on doing copius amounts of pot and heroine and having sex with strangers at rich suburbenite kid's parties. Not so great if you're interested in surrounding yourself with people interested in learning and their futures. There are about 10 kids in each class that are, and they're not too popular. Just your run of the mill ridiculous catholic high school bullshit.
Cathy: St. Ignatius College Prep! you must be pretty smart to be going there!
Kevin: Haha yeah, it's pretty chill, I got herpes there though from this one chick.

St Ignatius College Prep is a party school. It’s filled with rich kids who travel for summer and spring break and brag about it on social media. Their parents let them do whatever they want. Their parties consist of people who smoke weed, juul, and drink alcohol. All they care about is clout and the expensive materialistic items they own. They are always looking for a hook up, whether good or bad. If they aren’t wearing their strict dress code then they are probably wearing crop tops, leggings/jeans, and an Ignatius hoodie. If you do happen to spot them in their dress code, they probably are wearing a Lacoste or Ralph Lauren Polo or a Patagonia and khakis. The houses these kids live in are worth millions of dollars. They usually live in the suburbs of the Chicago (Hinsdale and Oak Park), although they claim they live in Chicago. If they do live in Chicago, they probably live in Beverly or Lincoln Park. Most of these kids come from FXW or Sacred Heart. If you got rejected you probably ended up at Latin, Parker, Lane, Loyola Academy, or some other horrible private school in the Chicago Area. The school’s athletics suck but they still come up with multiple awards per year.

Ignatius’ building is the most stunning campus you’ll ever see. It looks like a prestigious private high school from a movie. Most people wonder why you would pay $19,000 a year to go to this school, but those same people end up working for the students who attended Ignatius.
Person 1: Where do you go to school?
Person 2: St Ignatius College Prep
Person 1: Wow! No wonder you are wearing a collard shirt and khakis.
