Reviews
- The 65 teacher-written reviews on International School Community are unusually high for a Guangzhou school of this size; recurring positives cite colleagues and pay.
- Glassdoor sits around the middle with 46% saying they would recommend the school to a friend; complaints repeat around aging campus housing, unpredictable timetable changes and cafeteria food.
- Parent feedback is polarised. One parent said "choosing Huamei was one of the best decisions I ever made" and credited the IB curriculum and dedicated staff for a child's improved confidence and grades.
- A counter-review from a former student is harsh, calling the school "filled with liars, great advertisements, and unpassionate and uneducated teachers," with complaints about boarding food being "too greasy and unhygienic."
- The school markets heavily on its 1993 founding, OSSD/A-Level/IB pathway breadth and a Forbes regional ranking; reviews suggest the offering and the marketing don't always align.
