We are often here for basketball season watching the youth participate and have fun. The Smithfield…read morerecreation department uses this school to assist with the scheduling of games. The school and gym have always been fresh and well kept. The drive to this school will forever be an issue for me. As a coach and parent watching the basketball games I have never had any issues here at this school.

My adult son went to Independence Middle School when VBPS was transitioning from the Junior High to…read moreMiddle School model. He only went to 7th & 8th grades at IMS. Sixth grade was still elementary school. The school is conveniently located in my neighborhood. So it was an easy bike ride to school. My step daughter played on the then Junior High softball team. The ballpark is located adjacent to the school. During my son's time at Independence I served on the PTA Board & as volunteer pianist for the Chorus Teacher, making it easier for her to direct. The school is one that hasn't been replaced in the School Board's continuing project of replacing schools with glitzy new buildings. This makes me happy since replacement takes away the history one experienced in the former building. The sense of place is destroyed. Today my IMS Voting Precinct looks just as it did when my children attended. That makes me happy. The students that attend the school are from a mix of elementary schools. The children from Thoroughgood Elementary are split between Independence & Great Neck Middle. During my children's era those classmates were reunited at Cox High School. Since redistricting the children attend Princess Ann High School, as do most of their IMS classmates. Voting at the school brings back many memories. Those of us who are neighborhood old timers always run into someone we know at the polls. So I enjoyed my voting experience today for many reasons.

Entry price of $10 per person (kids included) is robbery but not set by the site. Boys restroom was a tad untidy and smelled like stale urine, typical high school bathroom. Glad they had working faucets bc our home high school doesn't have this. Gymnasium was a good size; well lit and fairly clean. 2 working scoreboards help keep athletes and spectators informed. Plastic bleachers for seating aren't the most comfortable but certainly better than standing. A good facility for girls volleyball, just wished it wasn't over 30 minutes from home.

I have attended this school on several occasions, mostly for sports... football and most recently…read morebasketball. I must say this school gives a great variety of concession items and I love it here! I would like to think there is plenty of parking here. But on a few occasions, I witnessed people parking on the grass. So depending on the event, parking may be an issue. Nevertheless, we have never encountered parking concerns. The gym is rather small compared to most, but it got the job done. Our girls Varsity basketball Team defeated this school to move on to the next round of play this year. Overall, this is a good host school it just needs more space to accommodate the attendees. Restrooms were tidy - a big plus! Have fun and enjoy life :)

We feel at ease knowing our child is in very capable hands. Our kiddo loves his teachers, classmates and principal and is excited about school and learning. The kindergarten team is amazing. They have high expectations for the kiddos and are gentle, patient and persistent with them. Our class's lead teacher has been very approachable, and we have appreciated consistent updates and parental outreach. The administration's communication to parents is excellent- this is something you don't always find from other schools. They have absolutely triumphed through this pandemic and it is because they have kept the lines of communication open with staff and parents. Most importantly, they have made ZERO concessions and compromises when it has come to the children's health and safety. Bravo. We are glad that we are part of the HRA community.

I am "difficult" to please, however, I have nothing but praise for HRA. Well thought out program of instruction. Highly engaging highly educated teachers who really LOVE their jobs and search to connect with the students. Fabulous morals, stress on personal responsibility. We really like the mentoring program. Further, the sports and arts programs are among the best in the state for private schools. Happy students, engaged teachers, great programs for every grade level. Really unique trips, projects, and activities make the school the center of our lives even though we live 30 minutes away. We don't mine the drive (plus they provide a bus). Great place to be!
