(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I would love to say that Independence Charter Middle School is THE BEST school in the entire state of Oklahoma! It's academic programs are second-to-none, and the superintendent, is one of the best I have ever known! The teachers are also truly exceptional! They love and care about the scholars. The scholars themselves are held to a very high standard, and they willingly contribute to good causes, and they work very hard to make ICMS such a fantastic school. The parents are also highly involved and take an extremely active role in the education of their scholars. I definitely want my own kids to go there. Wow! Way to go!

- I would like to proudly assert that Independence Charter Middle School (ICMS) is without a doubt of any kind THE best middle school in all of Oklahoma! The superintendent is only matched in outstanding quality. As a teacher, I have taught at this school some, and I have known the parents, scholars, and faculty there for almost ten years. now. It has high discipline and academic standards, a faculty and parent base that cares, and kind, loving, friendly scholars. I can't wait to send my own kids to this school!
