The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

i loved most of my teachers they helped me to get threw all my years of high school the the power of believed in me when no one else believed in me and that really touched and helped my mindset that they really do have teachers that care about there students and one thing i would change is the phone policy because its a high school i know we shouldnt be on our phone during class but recess we should atleat be able to use them on our free time

I would like to see the school spirit and sports change. Our sports teams need improvement and more motivation. Only a hand full of students at Indy high actually bring forth tiger pride. Our school hallways still look like they looked back in the day. We need more school colors around our school so it wouldn't be so dull. The good things about Indy high would be the fact that everyone knows everyone. It's a small school. When everyone knows one another we become closer as a school.
