Independence High School serves a group of students representing the diversity of this great city. Independence High students are breadwinners and ballet students, mothers, fathers and caregivers, athletes and artists. Some of our students are academically advanced and some have struggled to find academic success in their previous schools. We give each student an individualized schedule designed to meet their specific needs and goals.
Our student body is approximately 50% female and 50% male. 40% of our students are Latinx, 20% white, 11% Black, 10% Asian, 8% more than one race and 7% Asian Pacific Islander. Approximately 20% of our students receive special education services and approximately 5% are English Learners (Due to our independent study model, state law requires English Learners to be Level 4 or 5 to enroll). 70% of our student body qualify for free or reduced lunch.
Approximately 30% of our seniors go directly from high school to college and most matriculate at City College of San Francisco. Other popular schools include San Francisco State University, College of Marin, College of San Mateo, American River College and Skyline College.
