This is the most prestigious *sports high school* in America.
Seriously... It's barely a school and more of an child sports training facility. Disgusting how someone thinks a school is the BEST because it pumps out professional athletes.
@@mirojone Hey man, being an athlete is a profession just like any other, These kids needs schooling just like any other, don't knock.
@@mirojone Yea I had literally never heard of it
@@razatiger22 idk bout "just like any other" lol
@@razatiger22 I'm not knocking it? I'm knocking it calling it the #1 ranked high school when our education system got slaughtered by the DeVos family and her constituents.
It's fucking embarrassing when we're now one of the dumbest developed countries on the planet.
Actually fuck them rich ass kids.
Calling it a high school is a stretch at best. Nobody is learning anything beyond an 8th grade level there
Very true its sole purpose is for sports
💀💀
These vital years of intellectual development are being squandered. There's no way to recover the time wasted by this immoderate focus on sports. These kids will reap the poor harvest from this unbalanced focus. que lastima!
Lmao
bro completely glassed over the part of the video where it says they offer college lvl
and ap classes
Ngl my high school was almost at this level. Only difference was instead of dorms, training facilities, and pools we had homeless people walking on campus and police
San Francisco?
😂😂😂😂
worcester
Well that is pretty much every public school -- Homeless kids have to go to school too, by law. And yes, every school has cops and guards these days. Its the price we pay for everyone walking around strapped up.
Were you just suggesting that homeless kids be denied education?
@@redwolfexrNo. I’m not suggesting homeless students. I’m talking about grown people that would tweak out and yell at us. On occasion there were few that would come up and ask for chocolate milk. Other than that they were violent
Bro this is not a high school. This is a freaking college bro.
its more expensive than college
@@travis1271how much is it?
@@oreokid881 87k to 100k usd
@@oreokid881 70k-90k a year
Its a grade 6-12 boarding school
A little context
Annual tuition ranges from $86,400 to $96,900 depending on what sport you play, and the school generates $80 million in annual revenue.
my school makes more then 80 million a year and tuition cost less
That's really, really dumb to pay that. Even if you get a full 4 year scholarship to college, you'd spend more to send your kid here than you'd save by earning a full scholarship. This would only pay off if you wound up going pro in your sport and making it to the top level.
@@BKKGarrett its obviously for rich people only. Theyve got money to spare.
@@BKKGarrett I’d assume they just got it like that or they are thinking of this as a investment in their future pro athlete child. Either way it’s a lot of pressure on the student athlete and if that pressure will create a diamond time will tell.
I'm pretty sure, at least for football, most of the 4 and 5 star guys that transfer in get scholarships to go to IMG
Boarding Students:
Full-year tuition: Ranges from $67,400 to $89,900 depending on age and program.
This includes: Standard shared rooms and meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner).
Optional fees: Learning Resource Center Program ($1,100-$4,550/yr) and English as a Second Language Program ($3,000/yr) are available for additional support.
Day Students:
Full-year tuition: $70,900
This includes: Lunch.
Optional fees: Same as boarding students.
Is it hard to get into ? I’m asking cuz I wanna apply
@@sharkuchivery, if they don’t like say they want you before even applying then it’s pretty much impossible
@@sharkuchiu got 90k??
@@arionyoutube7381 That's not unheard of for boarding schools
Paying that much for school is actually idotic.
This is nicer than some D1 schools
Because it costs more to go
@@QudavisJerromefax😂
Indeed it is sir , I’ve been there to play baseball
Most d1 schools
90%
This kids are living the life man what a great place.
In exchange for parents. Wouldn't take it if you paid me.
Fr
@@thelastshadowpigznah fuck that
honestly, dont be jealous of the kids that’s go here. they’re either 5 star athletes or have rich parents or both, its not worth it for most people including many of the kids that go there
@@17ethann it's not worth it? What you on about? You could prolly go pro on accident going there. If I had the money id dump everything I had to go there
Of course he didn’t address the elephant in the room. He trying to act like this is a public school 😂
Well you can’t really get a tour of the place and then crap on them in the video
no hes not. the video description literally says its a prepatory school
To anyone who actually had the brain cells to THINK it was a public school…bless your heart ❤️
I thought that was obvious
he never said any of that...
I went to a tennis camp there in the summer of 2007. I really liked it, I went online and looked at the cost and it was like 50-100 thousand a year for the school, tennis, and room/board. You’re only going to this school if you come from a wealthy family or are extremely talented in your sport.
Nice
m.th-cam.com/video/uZdv-TtiMkg/w-d-xo.html
Imagine spending this much bread to go to high school
ikr its like 90k per year
They make it back with NIL and pro money
@@GrayGamerbig if
@@GrayGamerin baseball u ain’t making that back lol
lmao one person out of 500 what u smokin
@@GrayGamer
I once did a track camp with a high jumper from IMG, one of the most stuck up and self center dudes i've ever met.
was he good tho
I will cheer loudly for any regular public school that plays these guys
Bro. There's gotta be 4,5,6th year seniors there, lmfao. University would seemingly be a downgrade!
My high school in Carmel Indiana is the best high school in America. Lisa actually has bentleys and RR. The high School spent 25 million for upgrades
@@RUTHLESSambition5 How does having Bentley's and Rolls-Royce make it the best high school? What's the school rating? Average SAT/PSAT scores?
They might have a Junior high school center. I know some high schools in my city have a 7th & 8th grade center
Got to play a summer with a kid who pitched for IMG and when we went down to Florida for a week vaca had the pleasure of to play a couple games with their summer team. Kids were all good
Because they’re all rich atheletes lmao
IMG is actually insane. Also great video love these type of videos to get to see all sorts of schools.
It's more of a Sports Academy / NCAA Div-1 Simulator than a regular High School 🤣
u definitely weren’t lying about the content coming up!! but this might be my favorite school tour you’ve gone on!!!!
My son did the 2010 Summer Wood Bat League there and loved it. Even managed to win player of the week. Wish we could have afforded to send him there for HS. Highly recommend IMG Academy.
**if you're rich
@@South-uh5wu There's a good amount of athletes that aren't rich who get scholarships there.
@@uzi5395 fair enough
@@uzi5395 even with scholarships ur gon need to pay a part, its not full ride scholarship
@@South-uh5wuif you good they’ll pay you to go and hook up parents w great jobs
Shoutout IMG for having us. Too lit!! 🚀
i went to IMG for 1 year. School and tennis. For tennis it wasn’t the best you are basically paying for the name and it’s very easy to get in anybody can be there.
The price is 70k what do you mean anyone???
@@basicone324 anybody who pays it can get in no matter how good or bad
@@basicone324I think she means there probably isn’t much academic and athletic requirement to get in. As long as you can pay, you can attend .
@@basicone32470k is at the lower end too. It's close to 90k for boarding students with the extra packages.
Especially their football team, you don’t even have to be good. You can basically be a starter if you want to as long as you have enough money
We toured it when my daughter was in Highschool. She was gonna do her Jr year with Leadbetter …however she couldn’t get over leaving home that early in life! Awesome Golf and Tennis 10 years ago…now it’s all the sports. Nice Vid
Best video on IMG hands down!!!❤
i went here back before covid for camp to do track...it was so fun i recommend it 100%!
Was there before Xmas for my son’s soccer tournament…pretty insane to see it all in person
Nice
I really enjoy your videos, very well edited and the camera work is remarkable.
I mean my schools locker room isn’t that bad. We only had to change in the boys locker room because the girls locker room’s ceiling was falling down. I think our school is pretty close to how good theirs is 😅
Yknow you got it good when you’re at a school without roaches in the locker room
Prestigious from an athletic standpoint****
I’ve been here for summer camp its as awesome as it sounds
90k a year for high school good lord
really cool, thanks. even in this school there's room for more serious maths to meet the future of analytics in sports but more importantly actual education for developing minds. One issue with school tours is that it is really hard to get an idea of how the teachers are at the school, especially if they are all busy teaching and dont want to be disturbed
IMG goes hard!! 🔥🔥🔥
Yooo DSARM already subbed, and me and my son watch EVERYYYYY video!! Would love to supervise him with this gear. He would freak!!
Love the content bro!
I had no idea what IMG was until I moved to Bradenton in 2017. Then I would see the students, I assume, shuttled to different locations like Walmart, AMI, etc. They always had their t-shirts on and seem to travel in groups a lot. Anyway, all this to say, driving past hundreds of times the building looks beautiful from outside. I could only imagine what it looked like inside. Now I got a glimpse and it looks amazing.
i think you should clarify with the title because img academy is for sports, but their actual academics is like not even close
academics are actually pretty good
@@Tripper1707 yeah but not academically "#1 ranked high school" like the title says...
@@Tripper1707 if you read my sentence again closely you would see that I meant "not even close" in the way that its not even close to #1 academics in the nation
@@justinxuan2170 bro I’m just trying to say that I don’t think the schooling isn’t that bad I go here and my teachers are good
@@Tripper1707 yeye im saying theyre not the best
we cool now? 🤝
If you replaced magic from Hogwarts with sports, this would be it.
As a Texas resident, I always thought Allen was a college because of all the benefits that came with the school. IMG is just on another level.
You’d think they would give this type of money and energy to smart kids for academic studies
Jedrick892 just subscribed and kept me very entertained hope to see more tours like this one
W Video DSARM keep up the great content
Was there for tournament....going back in July for the Premier Cup!!!
Your the best baseball youtubers❤
I’ve been to camp here it was Stunningly big. I got lost 4 times.
played middle school baseball w kaz, crazy to see how far he's come 😭😭
❤ 18 hole golf course on school grounds is insane and a size of a university
I went there and played the JV team… and shoved. But they got the best campus I’ve ever seen. And I’ve had some D1 tours.
lol wyd you play 90k per year to go to high school lol
@@Random-yd4px Should rephrase. I dont go to the school I play at another in the area. But I played at the school against them.
As someone who goes to the camps, i can confirm its amazing.
did a bunch of track meets there, always super nice
Those drone shots are fire
Bro really talked with the son of my Legendary Red Sox closer Koji Uehara 😧
Amazing vid! Can u pls go 2 ut in Austin they have a really good facility
real
Great video man! I was the random dude on the DFW escalator that said whats up and wondered where y'all were heading!
Yooo what up dude!! We were headed to Oklahoma haha, OSU tour on day 1 then Holliday Brothers video on day 2. Appreciate you saying whats up!
Great video. I had no idea this Existed!
Never felt more inferior in my life than today
he doesn’t miss 🔥
crazy how there is still schools with bigger stadiums, Katy Highschool in Katy, Texas has a stadium that could almost be confused with a college stadium.. literally 12,000 capacity.
For highschool this place is wild!! I wonder how elite you need to be at 13 to get into something like this!
all you need is the simple budget of 100k a year!
@@YaBoiAsher Jesus Christ. I do not have that lol
@@PixelZinger most people don't lmfao
You can get in after. I know a guy who got a scholly to go there after his freshman year at our school(but didn’t go because it wasn’t full)
be rich 😍
Thx for showing my high school
Yo how much is that tuition?
@@iliketime183870k-80k
@@iliketime183890k
About 70k
70k per what?@@Dadailymem4sprinkedwithfunny
pretty insane facilities
Insane campus!
this is literally better than my college
I’ve also been almost all these facilities. Including the dorms. I was in the west building I believe.
Nice
You should do a side to side. Top ranked highschool VS Lowest ranked highschool
This campus is insane!
My high school doesn’t even have a dugout or a fence
I spent a summer camp there and got offered and partial scholarship for their post graduate team
lies
I had a friend who was so good at baseball that he went there this summer. He’s in 8th grade now and he’s still doing well
Fun side bar: It is not the top ranked high school in the US. It produces athletes who, while entertaining, provide absolutely no benefit to humanity.
yeah… like where’s the library
@@Jessica_Costantini… it must be underneath the school 😂
They churn out pros…..$$$$$
@Romelus69 And? College football players have problems reading at a high-school level so I don't put much stock in their academic pedigree. It's just one more way for American billionaires to get people to pay for their shit.
bro showed us everything besides for the actual school part
That's because it doesn't exist
That's because their academics is subpar. This is an athletics school.
My cousins go there and i went there too my nephews r going there next year it was ths best 5 years of my life i definitely miss it there i am glad i get to go back a few times a year 😊
Now it’s time for colleges, particularly in Illinois.
Tuition is 90k, that is insane wtf
I'm a teacher, so I looked this place up on glassdoor because I was curious about pay.
Not great, lol. Ofc this is all self-reported as boarding schools aren't required to post salaries like public schools but here are some numbers...
Avg pay: 43k - 63k
Home prices in the area vary a lot but I saw a few at 328k which are similar to what I live in now (and I paid 205k for mine, but I live in a low COL area). I'd probably end up living in a condo, but that really wouldn't work for my family:). Single, sure...family no lol.
Point being, I wouldn't want to teach there. Looking at the amazing facilities is great, and getting to use them is a perk...but for that pay it sucks. Teachers are already underpaid but this really seems like a slap in the face. Unless I'm missing a major benifit, doesn't seem worth it to me.
Also looking at coaches pay, it seems really low. You are churning out the best athletes, super competative programs, etc...and you are only paying 36-58k a year. Now if you can stack that with a teacher salary it isn't bad at all...but I highly doubt the coaches there teach. Maybe I'm wrong.
TLDR: Doesn't seem worth it to work here if you are a teacher or coach.
It's Florida. Capitalist heaven. That state is made for the rich, terrible for working class.
That's because they're not really worried about academics here. I bet all the coaches and trainers are paid big bucks!
I would be surprised if the coaches are making as little as what you posted. 🤷♂️
@@BreakerOneNine07 could be more. I just glass doored it so could be wrong
teachers are not underpaid..
Amazing too say the least.
"Stuff literally flies off the shelves." That's amazing...
where is the library?
LOLOL
I thought This was a college
Amazing video as always keep it up love it man love your content as aways ggod bless yall stay safe
I was not expecting that. I though it would be more academic.
@marinadelflics dsarm, these tours get crazier ever video! another banger
yeah gotta go catch my train to my next class 13 miles away
I love how the academic building is the afterthought lol
My school had to show plays in our cafeteria because it was too small for an auditorium and our gym was too small to set up a stage
Was good, ik I’m not gonna win but love ur videos
love how we couldn't see the housing and academic rooms at a high school lol
My cousin played a lacrosse tournament their and he won. It was so beautiful and so much space.
i am 10 years old and played a flag football tournament there we were the 4th ranked team in us and it is beautiful
have a new subscriber banger vid
This is every athletes dream
Right down the road from my house type shit this place is dumb lit
This isnt a high school this is a professional athlete factory
Does anyone know many baseball teams they have? And how are they divided?
yall need to check out the Chinle campus on the Navajo Nation.
This is sick!
So it's basically a pro athlete factory
I remember racing a few kids who ran track at IMG in a post season meet after senior year of high school. They only beat me by a few seconds in the mile, and I just remember thinking about how their parents paid 80k/year for them to be not even under 4:20
Uehara! The Japanese legendary pitchers son!
I played a couple basketball games their (I’m from Tampa, it’s kinda close ish), and it is crazy large and cool
