Indian River High School has been a wonderful place for me to further my education and prepare for my future at a university. I have been a very involved student, and Indian River High School has provided a plethora of opportunities to do so. The majority of staff and students are very kind, and willing to go the extra mile to help one another. I am grateful to Indian River High School for providing me with a safe and sufficient environment to learn and grow. The school has a wonderful academic program, and encouraged me to try AP classes. I have already gained college credit from two of those classes, and intend to pass three more before graduation! The administration does an excellent job at limiting distractions from the learning process in an appropriate but effective manner. Overall, I've thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Indian River High School.
While I was attending Indian River I enjoyed the athletics, there were many teams that I could participate in if I chose to, the coaches were fantastic, and the athletic director was my favorite! Academics were ok, a majority of the teachers didn't know what they were doing, and those that didn't were quickly removed. The teachers that have been at IR for a long time are the most beneficial because they know what they are doing. The only problem I truly had with the school itself was the administration and the rules that were enforced. As it would turn out they only did what they had to to abide by Indian River School District Codes which were complete, and utter trash.
My experience at Indian River has been very good the past four years. I have ben a member of the band and nearly all its smaller ensembles since freshman year and it has been a truly rewarding experience. I love the students that I've met through the arts program and formed many friendships that I know will last a lifetime. My teachers have always strived to help me when I ask for it, and the administration works to create a great environment for learning.
