The school has very good extracurricular programs and good academic programs. One issue with the school is the overall competitiveness, and I have had many issues with teachers.

Independence High School is great and is very well-kept. The teachers are great and there are a huge variety of classes offered. I was never involved with administrations stuff such as student council but being apart of the wrestling team all four years helped build my character. The coaches I had were truly amazing and I doubt I would've kept wrestling if it wasn't at Indy. While there are always things to improve on (lunch), the school is amazing and I wouldn't go anywhere else.
