Indian Hills High School Reviews
Rating 3.76 out of 5 198 reviews
My experience with Indian Hills High School has been truly amazing. I had transferred from a different town the beginning of my junior year, and I could not have felt more welcomed. The school spirit in this high school was unlike any other schools I have seen. I am very proud to say that I go to this High school. The faculty, teachers, and students are warm and extremely helpful. High school is a very hard time in a young adults life but, Indian Hills has made the experience worthwhile. The only thing I would change in Indian Hills is the distance from the student parking lot to the entrance of the school, it is a hill to climb up. Other than that, everything is amazing here!
My experience at Indian Hills has been unique, to say the least. Of course, I had to deal with virtual schooling over my sophomore year, which I feel the school handled to the best of its ability to keep students safe. The school has a fairly decent education system and a great guidance office staff. my main issues remain in the chemistry department and the health system. I just wished they had better/more qualified chemistry teachers on staff. I also wish LGBTQ+ health education wasn't just a basic slide show given by our GSA explaining terms. When they have the opportunity to work with our Gay straight Alliance to actually teach safe sex to students so they don't end up making life changing choices.
I would say in every aspect other than some of the academic departments of this high school was average. The science department you may be extremely lucky or unlucky with, fortunately I was lucky with all of my science classes. The teachers in this department, specifically Mr. Walkowich and Mrs. Gonzalez were phenomenal teachers that always made themselves available for their students. Even though I have had great experiences for this department, many of my peers including my two brothers had bad experiences with specifically their chemistry teachers. The history department is easily the most qualified aspect of the school. Educationally the school is very good for students in most cases, but the staff mainly guidance department is not as helpful as they should be in college preparation or general meetings as they only do the required meetings to make classes throughout the year and speak to the students for about 5 minutes each.
