I started high school in 2021 when I just came to the United States. I started as a freshman, and it was really hard for me because I just moved to the United States and did not understand English very well and I also did not have any friends. I did not like the fact the students go smoke in the bathroom and other student bring bullied because they from African. but letter on when I was a junior the school changed a lot of stuff which helped the school a lot. like security was added, before entering the school your checked like in the airport, if any student is reported for bullying, they will get expel and there is no fighting anymore. it's always clean now. and the teaches are super supportive. the school lunch is also improved and there are a lot of games to play in classes when we have nothing to do. it is well developed and safe to be there.

I’m blessed everytime I enter this school. It amazes me how Principal West is individually invested in every student. He takes the opportunity to learn each student. Something I’ve never seen from a principal. The students are challenged and prepared for life after high school. Ideally, life instruc...

9/10 because as a sophomore student ambassador I feel that Independence doesn't get the correct recognition it deserves. Independence high school's teaching staff has given me enough exceptional knowledge to help me score a 27 on the ACT without having to do any extra studying or ACT prep. The entir...
