My experience at Francis Howell High has been a great disappointment. Students go in feeling hopeful for an amazing high school experience and leave feeling like they didn't get to make the memories they wanted. The classes and teachers are great but it is the fact that the district takes away students' opportunities for fun and memorable experiences. For example, personalized parking spots are no longer allowed, which was something everyone was excited about. I wish that the district took into account what the students wanted rather than taking away what makes high school enjoyable.

Everyone is so nice but kids with special circumstances or learning difficulties there are only a handful of educators that understand or have the patience & experience to work with these students that need more help and understanding. The detentions are utilized way to often and especially with the new students or kids with special circumstances- there has to be a better way than detentions - so old school - I feel we can do better, more education on the mental well being of a child.

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.
