Independence Middle School is the best. They have great teachers, staff, and PTO. Also they have a pre teaching acadmey. It is the only school who provides that. Take this from a student who goes to this school. This school has a very experienced principal who is also very nice. The classrooms are very clean and neat. This school provides good education like just any other school. I highly recormend this school.
