I had transfered to independence high school at the beginning of my sophomore year. during that first year i was able to really explore a lot of performing arts, and just in general different classes that aren't the general classes. i have had encounters of teachers that were not the best teachers, or who have not treated students fairly. that does not overrule the amount of different opportunities, and resources that are offered at our school. independence high school is a very student oriented school, what i mean by that is that a lot of events and fundrasers are student lead, a lot of them are all students ideas. there are a lot of teacher, and faculty support.

My son graduated from Independence High in 2010 then went to UC. He graduated from medical school years ago and is a physician now. A couple of his school friends are physicians or pharmacists too. School faculty is important. Students and parents know what they want is also important.
