This school has the most unnecessary and strict policy and they know it. Students are not treated fairly.

My experience at this school right now feels like hell, other peers want you to fail while the teacher has put hands on a student in 2024. little to no effort put into the classes, and tons of homework, very self centered classes and the counselors do a great deal of making you feel left out. although nice academically this school has given people the worst experience anywhere. Ap classes are good, but everything sucks in opposition.

WOW! What an experience. Both of my children attended Webb for a span of ten years. We have been extremely blessed. Both students received noteworthy scholarships to college. They were both extremely prepared via integrity, work ethic, resilience, grit, public speaking, optimism, and the ability to "tune out the noise" and focus. Both tested out of many freshmen-level courses in their said universities. They immediately embraced their new roles in college and knew how to study and succeed. They both value diversity and global education and wanted that in college as well after attending Webb. I could not have asked for a better experience or financial investment in their futures than The Webb School!

I have 2 kids in this school and both are unhappy. I as a parents have many complains too with certain things are made too complicated.

Great staff who genuinely care for success of their students, and who often go above and beyond their job duties, dedicate extra time to students to enhance learning process.

2 of my children graduated from Heritage in 2018, they were accepted into SMU for their good grades and this May 2020 they will graduate from SMU!

The school should be more careful when choosing and honoring students who represent character traits. Giving recognition to a student who has had many reports of poor behavior is unacceptable and teaching the wrong lessons to the student body. There are many students who could be honored, but are overlooked.

After documenting a problem at the school, administration did not get back to us for a week and then did not follow up with the system that they put in place to support our child. If you have no issues, you will be satisfied with the school in general.

The atmosphere at this school is really positive and there is a real care for the families of the kids and the teachers as well.

The rating of this school has suddenly dropped to 6 which is unrealistic for this school. Does anyone know why the rating has dropped this much?

Independence is one of the newest high schools in Frisco ISD and already stands out in terms of academic, music and sports performance.

Our daughter completed her Freshman year at Independence HS in 2015/2016 and had a great year. The school was great at helping the freshman adjust to HS life. She joined the basketball team and adapted to the increasingly difficult curriculum. I have nothing but great things to say about Independence, and our 8 years as a family in Frisco ISD.

This school is way too strict. The administration and teachers take the fun away from high school. You will get a good education but you will hate going to school in Frisco. No one can mind there own business, because people is worried about everyone but themselves. This is partially because Frisco keeps their schools so small. High schoolers are treated like kids instead of young adults.
