There are very few bad things to say about Indian River High School. The academics were great; I felt that I have learned many different things about a wide variety of subjects in both the core classes and the elective classes. Most of the teachers were great, with some being near average, but not bad. Sure, there were days that were boring, but I never felt fear while in school and there is always something to do. There are a plethora of clubs and activities to be a part of, and they are extremely inclusive of race, ethnicity, religion, and sexuality.
I had fun at this school, but COVID impeded it and they took a weird way to approach the pandemic. It wasn't the worst I've heard of, though. There was also a slight problem with sexism and racism, but it had improved over my years there.
I'd like to see the school disciple students better. I'd also like to see them defend harassed students more. Other than that very good
Despite being on the school for only 3 years after moving Freshman year to this school it’s so much better than the last one I was in. However, the schools rules can be a bit strict. Once someone does something bad they will never do it again. Ever. So I wish they would cut back a bit on that. Other than that it’s a great school.
Overall there are great opportunities at this school. They are many clubs, sports and after school activities to get involved in. They have many academic opportunities as well ranging from college classes to advanced classes. They teachers at this school are always so outgoing. I would recommend that the school try to improve on it represention of other Coulter’s and facts. They should make group of students that reviews what they are going to put out before it is announced to make sure it is not hurtful.
Indian River High School was very diverse because we lived next to Fort Drum. There was great teachers, and an abundant amount of electives offered. The sports teams are great and we offer many sports.
I like everything. This is a great place to learn, work with others, and be successful. You are aloud to have a phone during lunch. You can bring in snacks and drinks. You will grow as a person each and every year.
Teachers put their best effort on helping their students, but it is difficult to socialize and make connections with people around you.
Transferred into the district as a Sophomore. There are always new students to make friends with due to the high influx of military kids from the nearby base. They offered multiple extracurricular activities that were often free to participate in with after school busing available. Academics were exceptional besides not offering AP courses, however, most teachers were always available for help and support whether during or after school. Overall, everyone is there to help a students succeed.
I’ve gone to school here for the past four years. During COVID-19, they’ve been very helpful and supportive as well as before that. It’s a great environment to be in.
It's a great high school, their facilities are all great and the teachers are very nice and polite to all students. the school makes sure to accommodate its students needs.
My experience here as been really good. There are a lot of different classes to choose from and everyone is nice. There are a lot of opportunities for extra help if you aren't understanding something.
I like IRHS, I am very advanced in Math, and they only go up to calculus 1. overall they lack in a strong STEM system. Their sports, art and music is extremely good!!
Indian river high school has a large amount of kids from the military base near by, so the students are very diverse. The students make it easy for new students to find their way around the school, which is very nice.
Indian River is not a bad school to attend, especially for the Upstate area. Although the surrounding schools and areas are on the poor side, Indian River has very good funding thanks to the large military base nearby. The principal, Troy Decker, is a beyond amazing educator who cares about each student personally. This is a great high school for people of any interest; there is an incredibly strong theater program and an equally strong athletic counterpart. For the most part, the faculty is great.
Everyone is very welcoming to military families, which is good since most of the kids in the school are in fact military. The school is very clean most of the time, and the faculty members make themselves known throughout the school. They do their best to make your opportunities known to you, and attempt to give everyone a chance to take academically challenging classes. Many kids seem to be invested in sports and other extracurricular activities, and these activities have been represented pretty well. Overall, I am satisfied with the school, and I hope to take advantage of their opportunities.
Indian River High School, part of the Indian River Central School District, is easily the best high school in Jefferson County; it has the best music programs, a great selection of sports to play, one of the largest class sizes around, and very good facilities.
