The Independence School District has received individual Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) testing results. MAP results will be sent home in January with student report cards.

With the addition of the ISD’s 20th elementary school, the district has made boundary changes, which will begin in the 2019-2020 school year. These boundary changes are necessary to reduce overcrowding, eliminate mobile trailers and allow for growth at schools across the district.
