this school has been all right. it's a lie to say there are no cliques. some teachers are normal, and some are just so naive about the bullying and stuff. they try to keep the kids off drugs, but they do them anyway.

I love this school, and it's so small, everyone knows everything. There are cliques, popular, and loser. But there aren't many major conflicts. I love this school and will be sad to leave it.

Omg dont talk about my school that way because there is a huge inviornment on keeping kids off drugs, to stop bulling, and tons of after school programs or be 4 school programs. There is somthing for everyone. There arent any cliques like the other moms said and there is no bulling at all. Because its such a small school that everyone know what everyone does. Like if someone was on drugs or if someone likes someone then everyone would know! i know there is no bulling because none of my friends are bullied or bully cause its sucha small school! small mya be bad but in this case its excellent! we get laptops too. In fact our school is sooo good that they give us apple laptops with a camera! im talking fannnncccyyy! so please please dont talk about my school that way... My school is da bomb!

Great teacher involvement. Teachers really do care if your child needs help. May need more involvement with the bullies.

I can say that Independence had an awesome committed staff but I actually transferred to Trinity Lutheran because I had such a hard time with the kids and all of the cliques.

Wonderful school. One of the better schools in the area. The teachers are really interested in helping the kids. Good extra curricular activities to keep kids interested. Large focus on keeping kids off drugs.

i think this school is the best school in the world. i absolutely loves it here. the teachers are the coolest. most of them are young and fun and get in touch with the students. its fun yet we learn a whole lot. when it comes to programs, i am in art, music, and basketball team all at the same time and she still manages her grades. i think that this school has great parent involvement and independence should win awards because of how awesome this school really is.
