The best part of my experience at Indian River was being part of the band. It was stressful, but I had so much fun, too. The worst part of my experience at Indian River was losing a year and a half to Covid, making it so I had to retake several courses to graduate. I'd like to see the computer policy requiring students to only use the school-owned Chromebooks change to let students who have their own laptops use those for their classwork.

My experience at Indian River High School was overall pleasant. My best parts of my experience were orchestra, all of my science classes, and the relationships I made with students and teachers. The worst part of my experience was Covid and how it impacted learning and events.

I like how there are always resources for the things you may need. The staff at the school are people you can always go to when you need to talk and they will make you feel comfortable and valid with how you're feeling. I also like how the school has different events to bring students together.
