Overall a great school. Have been going here my 4 years of high school, and personally I enjoyed my time here. The teachers are great as well as the students.

My experience at Independence High Magnet was one of a kind. There were many things that I enjoyed, but things that I also wish I could change. This was a very diverse school that allowed me to grow into the person I am. The change would be: a better way for kids to express themselves besides sports.

I didn't like it at first especially when i was a freshmen but as the days and school years went by everything was just fine. I liked most of my teachers even though they come and go. The students there were OK they wasn't the best but kind of friendly at times, our Friday game night was the BEST I wish i could go back. The band was awesome and the bus trips was so much fun. I can't speak on today because everything has changed in those 4 years.
