About Independence High School

Independence High School is a public alternative high school in Roswell, Georgia, that serves students in grades 9–12 in the Fulton County School District. The school has about 135 students and a student-teacher ratio of about 11:1, which means that students can get more personalized instruction than at most traditional high schools. The school is a nontraditional blended learning environment, where students do their work online and in person, often on a mini-semester schedule to help them catch up on credits and get closer to graduation. Independence High School has mostly minority students, and many of them get extra help with their studies. About 12% of students are good at math and about 27% are good at reading (ELA). Students may not be able to take all of the traditional electives or play on competitive sports teams that are common in larger schools, but they are ready for college entrance exams like the SAT. Independence High School's main goals are flexible learning, helping students who need to catch up on credits.
