The state of the IHS bathrooms is a frequent topic of discussion. Although they have a very poor reputation, not all of them are so bad. We decided to rank every bathroom from 1 to 10 (10 being the best) on four criteria: smell, infrastructure, stock, and cleanliness, all of which are defined below.
Please note that because two people with different standards reviewed the girls’ and boys’ bathrooms, the scores across genders may not be comparable (Alex seemed to be a harsher grader).
A score of 5 is considered as average; hence, a total score of 20 would be an average bathroom. In addition, the café and K bathrooms got two extra points for size.
Smell: How good did the bathroom smell? 1 is the worst smell, and 10 is the best.
Infrastructure: Were there doors on the stalls, and did the doors have functional locks? Did the sinks work?
Stock: Was there an adequate supply of soap, toilet paper, and paper towels?
Cleanliness: Was there trash all over the floor? Did the toilet seats look clean?
