It has it's moments but, what school doesn't? All around a wonderful school. Just wish I would not hear stories of as much fighting from my current student...I just hope the children are upheld to the safety measures and staff as well.
Posted by a parent on 4/6/2024My school is totally focused on every aspect of growning preteen students. It focus's not only on education, but also on manners, respect, authority, pride in the school and themselves. We are busy making our education at Independence Middle School better one more challenging one student at a time.
Posted by a parent on 8/16/2013I went to this school when I was a kid and thought that I wanted my children to go there because it would be a better environment than the inner city schools. I was mistaken. This school has really changed since I was there. The teachers are only there to get a pay check. Bullying is horrible there
Posted by a parent on 8/16/2012I think all kids would love to go to this school. the teachers never give homework and during classes, they get to sit and watch movies all day long.( What can they learn from movies and how are they going to pass high school with no education?) The office there is a joke. They do not know how to in

Independence Middle is a great school. The teachers helped me prepare for high school and they have great methods to help you learn easier and remember what their actually teaching you.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageCOE is by far the worst school I have ever had the misfortune of sending my children too. My children are constantly coming home with papers that have been graded incorrectly, they claim to want parents involved, but they do not allow parents to do much of anything other than come to lunch, children get bullied in multiple places where there are no teachers to see, teachers send snide and rude letters home, children are marked off for not turning papers in that are in the same folder as the notes saying they didn't turn them in, the classes are very large (my children's classes this year are 27 and 28 students), they refuse to change a students classroom even though the teacher is obviously not doing anything beneficial to the student, and that's just naming a few of the most recent issues I have had with them. I can not wait to get my children out of that awful school.Parent Review14y ago - Sophia-Soak Creek Elementary School
