GreatSchools Rating
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 attitudes of the teachers need to be changed. Now obviously all of the teachers are not to blame, and these students need to be held accountable. Although, I think some of these teachers only cared about getting paid, which we all know is not a lot. But when teachers come into the class complaining about their job and not wanting to do it, then it makes me not want to do work.

I liked Indian river high school education wise. They provided great education but the administrators were very strict, especially with dress code and going to the bathroom.

The best part of the school was the school spirit, the activities, the teachers, and the students. Our school does many things like events and social activities that other school may not do. The worst part of high school are some of the rules which some makes sense in a way, but others rules tend to be annoying and unnecessary.

Principal never emailed back after many attempts. Staff taking tickets at basball games. Ladies taking tickets at baseball games are extremely rude and I professional. I can’t imagine my kids having to deal with no feedback and unprofessional teachers all day.
