Indian River High School

My kids and I love this school. They love the teachers and administration at this school.

Principal never emailed back after many attempts. Staff taking tickets at basball games. Ladies taking tickets at baseball games are extremely rude and I professional. I can’t imagine my kids having to deal with no feedback and unprofessional teachers all day.

I am not impressed with the Indian River facility and staff. It is unfortunate because I am an IRHS graduate and alumnus. While I do not have children my nieces and nephews all attended IR. The last one will graduate in 2020. In short, they are guarded and rude. I have attended school functions for the past 7 years. I have seen the principle (Mrs. Dunbar) on numerous occasion. I smile and say hello and she looks right thorough me. Her rudeness is exhibited by her staff. The same thing has happened when with the assistant principles. I find them uncaring and unapproachable. When I see Mr. Frye at event he still speaks. He genuinely cared about the students and community. I understand the safety and welfare of the children should take priority. BUT, if you have seen the same person at events for the past 7 years it might be a good precautionary measure to have a casual conversation. Blank stares and unresponsiveness only goes so far. Has the school system changed this much over the years? These people cannot be properly training our children for the next phase in life. This goes beyond administering a curriculum and attempting to get satisfactory SOL passing percentages.

I would not recommend this school to anyone. The school administration was horrible to me and only supported those doing poor in school. Although I got good grades, I was very depressed and I was made fun of by the administration and some teachers. I've never heard of a school more childish and my college friends were appalled when I told them stories. I'm not sure why the counselor did not once talk to me about events that happened while I attended Indian River, but I can say that the people that go to this school are the most disrespectful and trashy individuals, and the administration alike.

As a teacher at this school for 30+ years, after teaching at three or more other schools, I found the administration supported students, parents, teachers, community who deserved it. No one groups was supported above the others. (Presently retired)
