Welcome to the Independence School District

We are K-12 school district nestled in the hills of the Trempealeau Valley in West Central Wisconsin. We have a student enrollment of  387 students (2016-17 data) with 36 teaching staff with 20 support staff ready to meet the needs of all of our students.

Our students have access to up-to-date technology with our 1:1 Digital Learning Initiative each student in grades 6-12 is provided with an 11" MacBook Air that they may take home with granted parent permission. We have SMARTBoards in every classroom and several classrooms also have access to SMART document cameras. Our elementary students have access to iPads in grades PK-1 and MacBook Air laptops in grades 2-5.

Our staff members are grounded in the practices of a Professional Learning Community (PLC) and make every effort to make sure our students are successful.  We assess our students learning using formative and summative assessments that are based on power standards for each course they take. Staff members are in constant collaboration with student data and best teaching practices to provide the best education to all students who attend Independence Public School.
