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.

Get the Saint Ignatius' College Riverview mug.There are a few St. Ignatius High Schools across the country, but this is a definition of the one in Cleveland, Ohio.
St. Ignatius offers the best combination of athletics and academics out of any school in northeastern Ohio.
Ignatius offers a challenging college preparatory curriculum that not only educates the mind but also the heart. To have chance to be admitted, students usually need at least what would be equivalent to about a 3.5 GPA in grade school. Most Ignatius graduates will tell you that college was far easier for them academically than high school was due to Ignatius' outstanding preparation. Suburban public high schools like to talk about how they might of been rated "excellent" by the state of Ohio, but the truth (even with the best ones like Solon, Chagrin Falls, Brecksville, Hudson, Shaker Heights) is that they ain't shit compared to Ignatius. Unlike most other schools, St. Ignatius uses a grading scale of A+=98-100, A=95-97, A-=93-94, and so on, with a 70 being the lowest passing grade; while at pretty much all other schools, it's A=90-100, B=80-89, C=70-79, D=60-69, F=0-59 with no plus or minus grades. Most kids with a 4.0 GPA at a public school would probably struggle to break 3.0 at Ignatius, if that much. The east side private schools like University might be slightly stronger that Ignatius at academics, due to their affiliated grade schools, but they cost more that twice as much a year for tuition, and they can only compete with Ignatius in the typical "rich boy" sports like hockey, lacrosse, golf, and tennis.
Speaking of sports, St. Ignatius is commonly accepted as the home of the best overall high school athletic program in Ohio, as said by Sports Illustrated. I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that Ignatius has won at least one state championship in every boys sport sanctioned by the OHSAA. Some teams are definitely stronger than others, but none of them can be called anything less than "pretty good." You will hear public school fans bitch and moan about how we "recruit" kids to play sports, but a school with sports and academics the caliber of Ignatius recruits itself. When was the last time you saw an Ignatius coach at a CYO football or basketball game? The coaches who are there are always from smaller Catholic high schools like Padua, Holy Name, Trinity, etc.
The main rival of St. Ignatius is St. Edward High School, another all-male Catholic school located a few miles away in Lakewood. St. Ed's may have a superior wrestling program, but in all other sports they are either equal or worse than St. Ignatius. And it's not even close as far as academics goes. As I said before Ignatius only allows top students to attend their school, but Ed's will let pretty much any dumbass in. Many of their athletes are the stereotypical meathead jocks: they're dumb, cocky, rude, and expect the other students and their teachers to line up to kiss their ass because of their sports talent, and most happily comply. I've never known any athletes at Ignatius who are like that, and the school gives them no special privileges. A lot of St. Ed's people see Ignatius as elitist because our tuition might cost $500 a year more (for a higher quality product, that is), but in reality Ed's has just as many rich kids as Ignatius while Ignatius is far more generous with financial aid to those who need it.
Other St. Ignatius facts:
-A lot of inferior schools think we're all gays or woman haters because of the fact we're all boys, but this is obviously just done out of jealousy.
-Ignatius does have cliques based on what sports or activities people like, just like any other school, but there's never really any kind of bullying or animosity. Everyone respects everyone, and everybody can find a group of friends they can fit in with.
-We're not just a sports school, we have just completed a new performing arts center that is the best out of any other local high schools.

Every year St. Ignatius sends its top graduates to colleges such as the Ivy League, the service academies, Notre Dame, Georgetown, and Boston College. The best students at (Random Suburb) High School are lucky if they can get into Ohio State.
Typical St. Ignatius athlete (Anthony Gonzalez): Maintains a 4.0 GPA throughout high school and college, where he graduates with a philosophy degree in 3 years, and becomes a 1st round NFL draft pick.
Typical St. Edward athlete (Alex Boone): Drinks a case of Budweiser a night throughout high school and college. In high school, he knows that as football star he doesn't need to have any respect for his teachers or schoolwork. When a new teacher at Ed's, not familiar with him or the school's jock ass-kissing culture, gives him a detention for coming to class in his usual t-shirt and jeans instead of the uniform of dress shirt, tie, and dress pants, he says, "Don't you know who the fuck I am?", files a complaint with the administration, and receives no punishment while the new teacher is damn near fired from her job. Is hyped as the next great offensive lineman at Ohio State, but becomes a decent, rather than great player because it's a lot harder to block defensive linemen in the Big Ten when you're hungover. After leaving college without graduating, he trains in the hope that he will be drafted into the NFL, but has to settle for being an undrafted free agent after going apeshit in a parking lot while drunk.
Or, like Troy Smith, they flunk out or get kicked out for bad behavior, but always have a spot waiting for them at Glenville.
Our famed alma mater graces
Every shrine within our hearts
With her unforgotten faces
And the faith that she imparts.
Years in passing cannot sever
Ties of new days from the old.
We're Ignatius men forever
As we hail the blue and gold.
On! Ignatius with your gold and blue,
You're the best team that we ever knew;
You've got what it takes to win this game,
Honor to your name! RAH! RAH! RAH!
Fight, you Wildcats of Ignatius High!
Their old team can bid this game good-bye;
On the old beam now, you blue and gold team now,
And fight to victory!

Get the st. ignatius mug.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.

Get the St Ignatius College Prep mug.A Catholic school in San Francisco, CA full of sporty white people who wear paper-thin leggings and Ugg boots every day. They never built a band room in the over 100 years it's been around. It has good academics, and PE is the hardest class most students will ever take.
They are proud of how diverse they are: 35% of students aren't white.
They have batting cages, 2 fields, about 5 tennis courts, a track, and a bunch of sporty stuff. When they hold masses, about half the student body is fried with weed, making the school a notorious Rastafarian hotspot.
SI has a rivalry with Sacred Heart Cathedral Prep, where they pass a trophy called the Bruce-Mahoney. They compete in football, basketball, and baseball. The winner takes home the trophy. The pep band is obliged to play for both schools at these events.
While most SI students are close to unaware that they have a band and orchestra, their chorus is a world-touring, prize-winning enterprise, and their musical is very good and sells out every year.
Most students have strong opinions about Justin Bieber and like either Taylor Lautner, Robert Pattinson, or Harry Potter. There are more unicorns than zombies, cowmen than farmers, democrats than republican, and Don't cares than pirates and ninjas. Facebook is the most popular website, and Mr. Lorentz' is the easiest religion class. Latin is the most boysterous language class, and either Spanish or French is the most popular.

Get the Saint Ignatius College Prep mug.This is a high school in San Francisco for rich, preppy pieces of shit who think they are superior to other people because they happen to be trust fund babies with sticks up their asses. They like to pay recruits a lot of money to go to their sorry ass school so that the sports teams can win...even though its fucking high school. With an enrollment of 1,400, there are curiously few minorities...namely blacks. That could be due to the fact that they are ignorant racist bastards...but is probably because no one wants to go to their sorry ass school. The school, located in the Sunset district in wonderful San Francisco, contains a large amount of suburb kids who should keep their annoying, rich-ass, snobby, and shithead asses at home.
There is a rather intense rivalry with a school across the city named Sacred Heart Cathedral Prep. A far superior school in terms of students and faculty, SHCP is very diverse, noticing that not only whites can read. A school which actually prepares its students for life after school, SHCP knows whats important. The "people" at Saint Ignatius are so envious and fussy about it their inferiority to SHCP that they mask it and call SH names like "stupid" or "poor," actions which make they SI Pussys...I mean Wildcats...sound more like assholes if that were possible. Yes, SI has won the Bruce Mahoney trophy many years running, but little do they know that SH has been letting them win simply for the fact that they feel sorry for the poor little SI Kittens. As an added bonus, SH students could kick any pussy boy SI student any day of the week...blindfolded...with a leg missing...and even if the SI kid had a gun. SI students are just that mind numbingly weak.
