Independence High School

Most adults I met here were more concerned with separating me from decent students than helping me a little more to succeed under undue stress. I'd rate my experience at this school like two out of five stars. It would have been less bad without the overpopulation, greed and mad teachers. I'm sure truly sociable students with a decent home environment and plenty of confidence in their learning did and do succeed at Independence High School.

My daughter went to this school and even though at the time the school did not had the best reputation it changed my way of thinking completely. Why do I say this because my child went from failing grades coming from another country to having amazing grades. The after school homework help with teachers and the interest from the teachers to want her to finish strong. now she attends college with a bright future so all i have to say is Thank you. and bulling there was nothing that we had to deal with so neutral for that reason.

My concerns are few of their counselors are not doing their job. My daughter has a female counselor that never response to her or her friends' emails (same counselor). Not a single reply ever received from this female counselor. I wonder how can the kids get help since the counselor don't bother to reply their emails.

School only clean up or fix up places that teachers or staffs visit but Rest rooms which students use and the staffs never use them, are in a terrible condition. Toilet seats broken are not replace for more than half year, hand soap in the dispensers are being contaminated which are left in the rest room to "showcase", really dirty not a decent toilet should look like, etc.....And one of the rest room at the end of the campus, always have a terrible smell of cigareetes......IHS is quite a decent good school but the school need to pay more attention on some detailed and hidden places that they try to avoid.
