The counselors did not help me at all when I wanted my child to be in an honors class. I would never, ever recommend this school to anybody.

The teachers need to retire in this school. I know that bullying goes on between the students but the teachers also bully and belittle the students. They are uncaring and callous with there remarks. I have spent 3 years trying to build my teens confidence and self esteem and it took just moments for a teacher to destroy all that we have worked for. The principal and assistant principal do not care about the student. I would not recommend this school to anyone!!!!

My son had a bad experience here. Every day he was physically and mentaly beat up. There was no problem with him or his abilites. The main reason was because he was small. The pricipals were very rude and blamed my son for getting beat up. I do not recommend indian hills to anyone.

When we transferred to the school they did everything they could to help my son feel wanted and went out of their way to place him in correct classes.

The teachers are not very extraordinary but they work with the students as far as it goes to my own knowledge. The students here are generally less sensitive towards others of different religions and/or ethnicities and are not very open. The principals are very narrow minded, and keep an average safty level at the school. In spite of its set backs, Indian Hills is the best for a better education as well as fitness awareness. This is because, the school makes the students jog every day in gym, focusing on cardiovascular fitness and maintaining a good healthy life. Overall a good school as i was a former student only 2 years ago.

This School does perform well academically. However, this is largely due to heavy parental involvement. Most teachers are average. The main problem I see is for those who are not popular. My son was bullied to the point I had to change schools.

I am a former student of Indian Hills Middle School and proud to say that Indian Hills Middle Shool focuses on top quality education primarily in Mathematics. They have excellent honors programs in strive to meet the academic needs of all students. Counselors and principals at IHMS are widely accepting and very tolerant with parents. They strive to work with parent's concerns. Unfortunately, IHMS does not offer very many quality extracurricular activities. However it does offer academic extracurricular activities such as Math Counts, Science Fair, and the National Junior Honors Society. They also are participants in the state math contest. Sudents at IHMS are intelligent, fun, and enerjetic. For the student's sake, I need to inform them that the school lunch food is not top notch. Overall this school excells in quality and academic excellence. It is located in a beautiful neighborhood with nice kids and a great view!
