Independence Senior High School Reviews
Rating 3.48 out of 5 77 reviews
The best band teachers in 4 state area. Fix the lunches and some policies about technology. The sports programs are ok but maybe need coaches that want to stay for more than a year or two. Security feels a little laced in this day of so much violence which can cause some concerns for the teachers and students. The band and choir classes could use some more support by the school.
It was alright. I mostly kept to myself, most of the teachers I had were great though. I loved the orchestra class I had. The AVID course helped prepare me for college as well.
I went to Independence Sr High school from 2018 - 2021. It was a great school to go to. The school culture is great, along with all the staff and administrators. Everyone is very friendly and is always pushing you to work harder.
