Independence Academy,

600 West Mechanic Avenue, Independence, MO 64050

"I would give it 0 starts. But that wasn't an option the teachers are abusive both physical and emotional. They treat their students like inmates and if your child is ever there watch how those treach treat them. This place is no place for any child"

"In 2003, I took GED preparation classes from January to May and the staff were amazing! I received my GED in July, passing on the first try."

"This school is an amazing place to learn and get educated and the teachers are very helpful and they take the time to teach you and give you space to learn the teachers also take time to get to know you and teach students on a level that everyone understands. and the education level accommodates everybody's specialized learning level. P.S I'm a student lol"

"My child had posted her opinion on this school and was later told to remove it and post something more positive. Seems like bullying to me. They can restrain and harm your children and not be held accountable. Understanding that my child had behavioral problems but I was under the understanding that this is why this school was an option. Because it was suppose to be a safe environment to learn and thrive. What a hoax this turned out to be. Signed... a concerned parent!"

"This place gave me another chance at a brighter future. And it helped me graduate on time. The teachers were more than accommodating and they were more than willing to do one on one. The class sizes were about 10 people sometimes smaller. I'd highly recommend this school. Thank you Independence Academy for giving hope in my life once more."
