Hillsboro is such an amazing school. I've been here since elementary school and there's such a great atmosphere. It's so colorful and vibes. The academics are great. Especially social studies Coach Shelton is the best teacher and everyone loves him he's great so great. Also we have okay sports but not like the best but they're okay. Football is good because coach shelton i guess. We have nice classrooms and the nicest teachers. We have a nice field outside and courts. The cafeteria food is alright it's not terrible but a lot of carbs but its fine they have good salads if you take off the meat and just eat the lettuce. The kids are nice but we have really ugly boys but the girls are pretty and nice. Theres no bullying really and there's hardly any drama unless there actually is and I just don't know it. A lot of people get dress coded but if you're a nice quiet kid then you never actually get dress coded. If you're a loud obnoxious kid then you get dress coded more often. Overall pretty good i like it but i can't wait to leave.

I am the parent of a 2017 High School Graduate, of Independence High School. Given my only child, my son, graduated now over 5 years ago, I am not certain of the new administration, so I can only provide direct information as to his and my experience (mine of course, as a parent of an Indy student). I do have a niece at Indy now, and she loves it. She is on the Ultimate Freesbie Team and is thriving at Independence, when she had tons of issues at previous schools that she attended. I am so grateful that she is finally at a school where she can be accepted for who she is, as an individual. I saw another review that stated that the school last cliques, but please... what large group of individuals doesn't? I saw another review that stated that the school is not diverse at all, however, based on experience, I can say that the school is highly diverse. My son is a very well rounded individual and he had tons of friends from all walks of life. Honestly, had it not been for his experience at Independence, I'm not so sure he would be so well rounded. My son played sports including Football and Baseball, while also thoroughly enjoying his time in Theater, with a completely different group of classmates. It was his acceptance of all people, regardless of their ethnicity, heritage, etc., as well as their acceptance of the same. A very diverse group. There were no racial issues at all, during our time at Indy. That is why we loved it so much. Sure, there are going to be those with less education on heritage backgrounds, that run their mouth, or whatever, but I can assure you, at Indy, those folks are far and few between. I overwhelming recommend this high school, based on our experience. The school has a very high academic record, as well as success in nearly every sport, and high success in football, basketball, and soccer, among others. The teachers at Indy are very supportive and genuine, wanting to follow your child success, post high school, due to their heartfelt interest in uplifting young people into adulthood. Their Nursing Program is stellar and something my son enjoyed while there. My son is now a graduate of Middle Tennessee State University with a Bachelor of Science Degree, Environmental Science. He is very independent, needing nothing from me, except advice from time to time. I firmly believe in the teachers and staff at Indy and I am so grateful that they all believed in my son. Good Luck!
