Independence High School Reviews
Rating 3.76 out of 5 25 reviews
It was my best move for me. I transfered from Roswell High School and I have never looked back. I graduated early. This school is not for everyone, but it's what I needed. I was motivated and driven when I left. This school and the faculty got me back on track. This is where I grew up. Thank you.
Independence High School is a credit recovery school. It is not your average high school. At this school I was able to move towards earning the credits that I missed at my home school which was Roswell High School. Independence High School is a great school. The teachers at this school are very helpful and assuring. They had help sessions and let you retake tests that you did not do well on. The classes are easy to keep up with and the work load is not much at all. My experience at Independence high school prepared me for the real world because they did not offer school buses as an option for transportation. You had to take public transportation, have a parent drive you or drive yourself. I had to rely on public transportation which had its pros and cons. Even though our school did not any team sports, we did have clubs and great school spirit. I was apart of the Key Club. I had a phenomenal time at this school.
To begin with, one of the things I enjoyed about this school was the time we went in and the time we left the school. This made it very easy for me to focus on my homework outside of school.
