Love, love love Independence. I have had 1 son go through this school and one son who is currently a student. I can not emphasize enough on how amazing all the staff is. From receptionist to counselors to teachers and administrators. I would not want my kids anywhere else.

Children with disabilities do not get the help they need. They focus more on making sure their school is ranked high then the kids that truly need the help.

I am glad we are no longer at this school. They focus on the high achieving students and ignore the struggling ones. My child often complained of being bullied over the years and nothing was ever done about it. We had some teachers who seemed to care about my child and their education and some who didn’t.

Awesome staff and environment!!! My kid's kinder teacher was always available when I needed her to answer my questions. And she gave her students challenges all the time and my kid really enjoyed them! Can't be better. I hope my kids next teacher is also great person too!! Can't wait school starts!!

I have two children at Independence. Been involved with the school for 4 years now and haven't had a bad teacher yet. Everyone from administration, support staff and teachers has been excellent. I feel my kids are getting the attention they need and a quality education. Can't ask for much more.

It has been a wonderful experience for my daughter and I, here at Independence Elementary. The staffs here are friendly, motivated, open minded and very flexible in helping my daughter and all of the students.
